Our brand-new catalytic converter features a stainless steel body—lifetime warranty against defects and a 20% larger catalyst area for those extra clean smog tests! Available with or without installation hardware. Make your selection in the drop-down menu.

Fits: All 1983-91 Watercooled Vanagon & 1993-95 Eurovan with OEM exhaust system equipped with 3-bolt flanges. See Fitment tab for more info.

We offer two versions depending on your local emissions requirements.

50-State Converter:
Compliant with emissions standards in all 50 STATES. Approved for use in California, Colorado and New York. CARB Executive order #D-193-164.

47-State Converter:
For customers outside of California, Colorado and New York. Note: The 47-State catalytic converter might be legal in your state, but it may not be capable of actually passing the emissions test! If the test you have to pass includes a maximum NOx measurement, you will need to buy the 50-state catalytic converter to pass the test.

Note on price: You are not seeing triple! The 50-State catalytic converter has almost tripled in price over the past year. The reason for these extremely high prices are due to the cost of the materials these are made of. Until or unless the price of the raw materials suddenly plummets (unlikely), they are going to be expensive! Most retailers are held to the manufacturer's MSRP of $1377, but not GoWesty! We are proud to offer our super-quality private-label version for a few hundred bucks less! That's right, we've got your back.

High grade catalytic converter!

Really nice build and I like that I didn't need to weld. Before installation I was thinking how easy it would be to steal this. And then I installed it with a J-pipe and new muffler. The tight fit makes stealing almost impossible! I mounted the cat to the new muffler before mounting the muffler and those bolts are really hard to access.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Well I passed my California smog test with my 37 year old OEM Cat on my 87 Westy! Nevertheless, it's rattling got me to spring for this new Catalytic Converter. My mechanic said he'd installed several from Go Westy ( and a couple were bad right out of the box) And, of course, Go Westy replaced them. Mine seems fine; and that dang rattle is not there any more. My mechanic told they are not making these with the same rare earths anymore so I don't suppose I'll get 37 more years use out of this one!!

Old original equipment catalytic converter was done. With my California smog test due soon, I fixed a small exhaust leak near the O2 sensor and installed the GW 50 State Catalytic converter then proceeded to the test station. The van passed easily with low NOx and very low HC.

Very good. No problem.

1990 original 200+k's engine seems much happier! Performance may have also improved.

The gowesty 50 state cat is the same as the original cat that was on my vanagon if not just a little bigger which is fine. Works great though.

No one ever wants to have to replace one of these, but when you do, GoWesty has the right part for the job. Easy to install and perfect fit.
