In order to properly determine which catalytic converter to use on certain applications, it is necessary to determine the type of catalytic converter originally used on the vehicle. This information (required by the EPA) is included on the vehicle emission control information label located in the engine compartment in a visible position on the hood underside, shock tower, radiator support, fan shroud or firewall. (An example is shown below.)

Two-Way (Oxidation) = OC or COC
Three-Way (Oxidation Reduction) = TWC or ORC
Three-Way + Air (3-Way Plus Oxidation) = TWC/OC or ORC/OC

FOR CALIFORNIA STATE ONLY:
*Effective 1-1-2009, ALL California vehicles will no longer be based upon G.V.W. (Gross Vehicle Weight) and engine size. Application look-up is the only approved method for determining the correct part number for ALL California Vehicles. It is illegal in California to select a catalytic converter for installation based solely on vehicle weight, engine size, physical shape, size, configuration or pipe diameter.
