This internal catalyst degradation causes restrictive exhaust backpressure, blunts low-end engine response, and inevitably triggers downstream oxygen sensor efficiency fault codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFabricated with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel casing and an advanced ceramic honeycomb monolith, this direct-fit converter promotes optimal exhaust gas dwell time and maximum catalyst surface exposure without choking exhaust velocity. Engineered to precise OE dimensional tolerances, it includes precision-machined flanges, integrated oxygen sensor ports, and mounting hardware for a straightforward bolt-on installation requiring no cutting or welding.\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;\"\u003e2009-2013 Toyota Highlander\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;\"\u003e1AR-FE (2.7L) \/ XU40 (ASU40)\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;\"\u003e187 hp \/ 186 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;\"\u003eBER855495 \/ OE: 52206\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009 Toyota Highlander 2.7L L4 (1AR-FE Engine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010 Toyota Highlander 2.7L L4 (1AR-FE Engine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011 Toyota Highlander 2.7L L4 (1AR-FE Engine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2012 Toyota Highlander 2.7L L4 (1AR-FE Engine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2013 Toyota Highlander 2.7L L4 (1AR-FE Engine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Toyota Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to handle the thermal demands of daily commuting and long-distance operation, this converter assembly restores factory emissions efficiency and maintains smooth exhaust flow for dependable long-term performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50484781121784,"sku":"DS-EEJUABDEZ","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-toyota-highlander-2009-2013-2-7l-1.jpg?v=1789105696","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-toyota-highlander-2009-2013-2-7l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
