Catalytic Converter for Jeep Renegade (2015-2018) 1.4L

Direct-Fit Stainless Catalytic Converter for 2015-2018 Jeep Renegade (BU)

What it Does: This direct-fit catalytic converter bolts behind the turbo on 2015-2018 Jeep Renegade BU (EAM 1.4L MultiAir Turbo) models to restore exhaust flow and emissions control.

The Stock Jeep Renegade Catalytic Converter Failure

Positioned directly behind the turbocharger, the OEM catalytic converter on the BU chassis endures extreme thermal cycling from the EAM 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine. Prolonged heat soak degrades the washcoat and fractures the ceramic substrate, causing broken brick fragments to rattle inside the shell. Once efficiency drops, downstream oxygen sensors detect unburned gases, triggering persistent P0420/P0430 fault codes and restricting exhaust flow.

Common Symptoms of a Failing OEM Catalytic Converter

• Check Engine Light: Triggers P0420 or P0430 codes from depleted catalyst washcoat efficiency.
• Exhaust Rattle: Metallic rattle beneath the turbocharger from a fractured, loose ceramic substrate.
• Flow Restriction: Sluggish boost response and failed emissions from melted honeycomb passages.

The Direct-Fit Stainless Exhaust Solution

Built to factory dimensions, this unit features a stainless steel body (10 in. length, 5 in. height) and heavy-duty pipes that resist rust and heat cracking. A ceramic honeycomb substrate with a precious-metal washcoat restores efficient HC, CO, and NOx conversion for clean OBD-II operation. OEM-style flanges, mounting brackets, and a factory oxygen sensor bung ensure bolt-on installation at both ends without cutting or welding.

Frequently Asked Questions & Fitment Warnings

Does this fit the BU Renegade?

Yes. This is a direct fit for the 2015-2018 Jeep Renegade equipped with the EAM 1.4L MultiAir Turbo engine. Excludes 2.4L models, and is EPA federal compliant only—not CARB approved or legal in California, New York, Colorado, or Maine.

Will this clear P0420/P0430 codes, and are O2 sensors included?

Yes, when caused by catalyst failure; O2 sensors are not included. Transfer existing sensors or install new ones and verify zero exhaust leaks.

Are gaskets included for installation?

Yes, a 2-bolt flange gasket and ring seal are included. Penetrate cool fasteners, install the new seals, torque evenly, and inspect for leaks.
