Manufactured with heavy-gauge stainless steel tubing and OE-spec robotic TIG welds, it features an advanced ceramic honeycomb monolith washcoated with high-grade platinum-group metals. The design matches factory routing and collector geometry precisely, maintaining factory backpressure without requiring cutting or custom pipe fabrication. Pre-welded oxygen sensor bungs and heavy-duty mating flanges ensure tight, leak-free seals to upstream exhaust manifolds and downstream piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2009-2014 Ford E-Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModular 4.6L 2V SOHC\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eVN Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e225 hp \/ 286 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9C2Z-5F250-E\u003c\/strong\u003e (70417, 74049, 645789, 44853)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2014 Ford E-150 4.6L V8 (Bank 1 \u0026amp; Bank 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2014 Ford E-250 4.6L V8 (Bank 1 \u0026amp; Bank 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNote: Fits 4.6L V8 configurations only; does not fit 5.4L or 6.8L engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEmissions: EPA 46-state legal (not legal for sale\/use in CA, NY, CO, ME)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the VN Platform E-Series?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2009-2014 Ford E-Series equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eModular 4.6L 2V SOHC\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill this resolve P0420 and P0430 OBD-II trouble codes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, replacing deteriorated factory converters with this fresh ceramic substrate assembly restores normal catalytic conversion efficiency to clear P0420 and P0430 codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Ford Heavy-Duty Workhorse Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to handle high exhaust gas temperatures and sustained heavy payloads, this direct-fit converter system maintains the rugged exhaust reliability and towing capability required for fleet and commercial E-Series vans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67538042716408,"sku":"DS-EYZ9MS0J4","price":201.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-e-series-2009-2014-4-6l-left-right-1.jpg?v=1790621445","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-ford-e-series-2009-2014-4-6l-left-right","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
