In the 1.4L Ecotec, oil vapor carryover and rich-burn conditions can coat the OEM core, resulting in increased backpressure, sluggish turbo spool, lost fuel economy, and persistent catalyst efficiency trouble codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured with a durable stainless steel outer housing and a high-efficiency ceramic honeycomb monolith, this direct-fit catalytic assembly restores factory backpressure levels and clean tailpipe emissions. Precision robotic welds and exact OE-spec bolt-on flanges allow seamless mating to the stock downpipe and mid-pipe without cutting or custom fabrication. Includes required hardware, clamp, and flange gasket for a direct bolt-on install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2013-2021 Buick Encore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1.4L Turbo Ecotec (LUV \/ LE2) \/ Gamma II\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e138 hp \/ 148 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e16777, 50561, 19609, 644076, 19420251, 94529683, 95468206\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2014 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2015 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2016 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2017 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2018 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2019 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2020 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2021 Buick Encore 1.4L L4 Turbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Buick Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle severe daily thermal cycling, this replacement converter ensures steady exhaust gas velocity and quiet, drone-free highway operation without throwing downstream sensor faults.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50464857686264,"sku":"DS-EN9WPRDT7","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-buick-encore-2013-2021-1-4l-1.jpg?v=1788889250","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-buick-encore-2013-2021-1-4l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
