Mitsubishi Lancer Catalytic Converter 8 (Viii) (2007-2017)

For Mitsubishi Lancer 8th generation (Evo 8, 2003-2005) and similar models up to 2017, catalytic converters are offered in several versions: OEM replacement, high-flow, and decat (non-catalytic) pipes. These options focus on meeting EPA/CARB emissions standards, using stainless steel (T304) materials, and enhancing performance for the 4G63T engine.

Key compatibilities and parts include:

• 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer: Front catalytic converter, part number 644055, EPA and CARB certified with 1-year warranty.
• Lancer Evolution 8/9 (Evo 8/9): High-flow CARB-compliant OBDII magnafow type and Kinetix Racing 3" stainless steel high-flow catalytic converters with O2 sensor ports.
• Decat replacement pipe MS005-2: premium T304 stainless steel for Evo 7/8/9, bore 76mm, non-legal for road use.
• Magnaflow series for 2008 Lancer: Street/Touring or Competition/Sport for sound and performance tuning.

These catalytic converters typically feature:

• Tubing and flanges made of stainless steel T304 for durability and corrosion resistance.
• Ceramic substrates for high-flow catalytic converters to optimize emissions reduction and engine performance.
• Standard diameters such as 3" bore tubing and 76mm bore for decat pipes.
• Oxygen sensor ports (midbed) compatible with OBDII systems to prevent check engine light illumination.
• Designed to fit exhaust systems optimized for the 4G63T engine on Evo 8.

All converters meet EPA and CARB regulations and often come with a 1-year warranty.

Options include:

• OEM replacements for 2008-2017 Lancer, ensuring compliance and warranty.
• High-flow CARB-compliant catalytic converters for Evo 8/9 providing improved flow with legal emission standards.
• High-flow 3" stainless steel cats offering superior flow without triggering CEL in most cases (local laws apply).
• Decat pipes for Evo 7/8/9 for pure performance, though not legal for street use.
• Street/Touring series for moderate sound and performance enhancements.
• Catback exhausts optimized for Evo 8 models with specific bore sizing.

These options balance legal compliance, performance improvement, and sound preferences.

Quality Mitsubishi Lancer catalytic converters are available from specialized suppliers and distributors focusing on OEM and high-performance parts.

• Official OEM-like part dealers offering EPA and CARB certified products with warranty.
• High-flow and performance brands selling stainless steel catalytic converters designed for Evo models and 2008+ Lancers.
• Online automotive part stores serving professionals and enthusiasts with expertise in Mitsubishi brand compatibility and compliance.

Always confirm compatibility with your specific model and check local laws regarding emissions and CEL compliance before purchase.

The Evo X catalytic converter typically fits Evo X models (2008-2015) and may not be directly compatible with the 2008 Lancer GTS due to differences in engine displacement and exhaust system design.

Compatibility depends on:

• Engine type and displacement differences between Evo X and Lancer GTS.
• Oxygen sensor placement and OBDII system requirements.
• Legal emission compliance for your local region (EPA, CARB).

Consult with a specialist or supplier to verify fitment and legal compliance before attempting replacement.

When purchasing a Mitsubishi Lancer catalytic converter, consider the following:

• Ensure the catalytic converter is compliant with EPA and CARB requirements, especially if you live in California.
• Choose stainless steel construction (T304 recommended) for durability and long-term performance.
• Match the catalytic converter to your vehicle’s engine model (4G63T for Evo 8) for proper fitment and emissions performance.
• Check if the converter includes oxygen sensor ports compatible with your vehicle’s OBDII system to avoid check engine light issues.
• Assess warranty offerings, typically 1 to 3 years, and verify return policies.
• Beware of local laws regarding decat or high-flow non-CARB-compliant converters which may not be legal on public roads.

These points help ensure you purchase a legal, durable, and well-matched catalytic converter for your Mitsubishi Lancer.

High-quality Mitsubishi Lancer catalytic converters typically come with warranties and support including:

• Warranties of 1 to 3 years, often limited to 100,000 km use, covering manufacturing defects.
• Free returns within 30 days for unused, original-condition products in Europe under specific conditions.
• Technical support for installation and compatibility questions, including installation manuals and expert advice.
• Recommendations to replace accompanying parts such as oxygen sensors and gaskets during installation.
• Compliance certificates ensuring EPA/CARB conformity to meet local emission standards legally.

Always verify warranty terms with the supplier and follow proper installation instructions to maintain coverage.

Choose certified stainless steel catalytic converters designed specifically for your Mitsubishi Lancer model to ensure quality, emissions compliance, and optimal exhaust performance.
