This degradation reduces catalytic washcoat efficiency, triggering downstream oxygen sensor threshold alerts like DTC \u003cstrong\u003eP0420\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eP0430\u003c\/strong\u003e. Internally collapsed honeycomb channels also create excessive exhaust backpressure on the \u003cstrong\u003eHR16DE\u003c\/strong\u003e powerplant, leading to throttle lag, compromised fuel economy, and persistent sulfur exhaust odors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to exact OEM geometry, this replacement underbody assembly features an automated TIG-welded, corrosion-resistant 409 stainless steel housing designed to withstand elevated exhaust gas temperatures. Internally, a heavy-duty ceramic honeycomb monolith is coated with high-grade precious metal catalysts (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) to reliably scrub carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons, and oxides of nitrogen. Precision-machined, laser-cut flanges, OE-location hangers, and a factory-threaded oxygen sensor bung allow a direct bolt-on installation without cutting, bending, or welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Underbody Catalytic Converter Pipe Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExhaust Flange Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardware Kit (Mounting Bolts and Tension Springs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\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: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\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;\"\u003e2012-2017 Nissan Versa\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\u003eHR16DE\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eN17\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;\"\u003e109 hp \/ 107 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\u003e16794\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eEMCC26796\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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\u003e2012-2017 Nissan Versa Sedan 1.6L (S, S Plus, SV, SL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the N17 Versa?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2012-2017 Nissan Versa sedan equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eHR16DE\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6L engine. \u003cstrong\u003eNote: Excluded from Versa Note hatchback models unless confirming identical underbody configuration, and strictly restricted from California CARB emissions vehicles.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this catalytic converter legal in all 50 US states?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is EPA-compliant for Federal emissions standards only and is legally restricted from sale or installation in California, Colorado, New York, and Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Nissan Efficiency Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for high-efficiency commuter platforms, this catalytic converter restores exact factory backpressure profiles and combustion balance to keep the \u003cstrong\u003eHR16DE\u003c\/strong\u003e running smoothly, efficiently, and check-engine-light free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896262820088,"sku":"DS-E3GUG84OP","price":128.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-nissan-versa-2012-2017-1-6l-1.jpg?v=1793295908","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-nissan-versa-2012-2017-1-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
