Over extended mileage, the original ceramic matrix fractures or experiences washcoat wash-out, causing restrictive exhaust backpressure, lost fuel economy, sluggish mid-range throttle response, and persistent P0420 diagnostic trouble codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to direct-fit OE geometry, this replacement converter utilizes a durable stainless steel outer shell designed to withstand extreme thermal expansion without seam degradation. Internally, a high-flow, heat-resistant ceramic monolith substrate is loaded with optimized precious metal washcoats to effectively reduce hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide, and NOx tailpipe emissions. Thick, CNC-machined flanges eliminate warping under load, ensuring a leak-free seal directly to the factory cylinder head and downstream exhaust path without cutting or custom fabrication.\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;\"\u003e2012-2017 Kia Rio\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;\"\u003eGamma GDI (G4FD) \/ UB\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 \/ 123 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;\"\u003eBER388695\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012-2017 Kia Rio 1.6L 4-Cyl (Sedan \u0026amp; 5-Door Hatchback)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplaces OE \/ Interchange Numbers: 285102BEF1, 327-50793, 674-891\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Kia Commuter Reliability Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for daily commuting integrity, this converter eliminates false check engine lights and restores precise stoichiometric balance for clean, dependable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50488087838968,"sku":"DS-EE36RTMKC","price":112.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-kia-rio-2012-2017-1-6l-1.jpg?v=1789149191","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-kia-rio-2012-2017-1-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
