Catalytic Converter for a 62

[Max.Powerzz]

Is a catalytic converter for a 62 the same as a 60? All the threads I read are regarding 60's, but nothing on 62's. Anyone found a good replacement? The OEM are PRICEY, like $7-800! Others said they went with JC Whitney for a 60 for around $120, would this also work on a 62?

You can almost use any Cat as long as it is rated flow for your size vehicle. BTW a 62 is on the low side of the flow chart so anything above the stock pipe size will work.

For my FJ62 I use one from Catco that I got from summit racing. Universal weld in type.

But I also only have one cat now after an exhaust redesign. If you want (or may need) to redesign, I think there is a 2 into 1 dodge truck cat that will work great. Two down pipes to the cat and single 2 1/2" out.

Do you have that part number?

Do you have that part number?

No, sorry. I'm sure some one from the 3F-E List does though.

IIRC its from a V8 powered late 90s early 2000s 2500 pickup. You might start there.

EDIT:
I found this:
Magnaflow Standard Catalytic Converter 1999 - 2001 DODGE RAM 3500 VAN 8-Cyl. 5.9L Part#: 94037

2" dual inlet
2.5" outlet

and weld the O2 port shut...

Thanks for the tips. I'm looking for a direct bolt-in. I know a lot of the 60's guys were having trouble finding one with the proper bolt pattern, they were being mailed cats with two bolts instead of 3. Does a 62 have the same bolt pattern as the 60?

Mine used to have 2 bolt flanges. Cut and weld!! Cut and Weld!!!

I used 2 from magnaflow on my 62. Worked great, passed emissions.

to answer your ?. no the 60 and 62 cats are different. the 60 uses one bigger one and the 62 uses 2 smaller ones. in stock form

So to pass emissions can I cut out the two and just put in one? Since each cat will have its own sensor, will this throw codes if the second sensor is not hooked up to a cat?

Mud Shark, what type of Magnaflows did you use? They don't have any listed for Toyotas for 1988. Thanks!

I found this one from summit racing. It is the right size and a performance and also a very good price. I am going to get one and get rid of the pipe that is going under the frame.

Those look pretty good. If I kept both pipes do you think two of these cats would fit?

I dont think that would be a problem at all.

Update: I got the 2 summit racing cats, $55 each. Mechanic wanted to charge $300 each for aftermarket, no thank you. Replacing the cats did the trick and I passed emissions with flying colors, gracias Mud

Did the summit cats have flanges for bolting in, or was some welding necessary? What are the summit part numbers?

I have the MAF cat back exhaust and need some aftermarket bolt in catalytic converters.
