Catalytic converter replacement on a 2011 Subaru Outback with the 2.5l boxer engine. This Subaru had trouble code P0420. We tested the converter is a separate video (I’ll have a link for my Subaru Repair Playlist below) and after 174k miles this converter was toast. The front air fuel sensor and rear oxygen sensor was also replaced. It’s a good idea to replace these sensors as the old ones can be quite contaminated. Cheers.

Sir, Can you tell me where to buy the parts for this Catalytic converter? Mine is Subaru Impreza 1.5R AWD. Thanks
Was it bank 1 or bank 2 ?
I was wondering if the aftermarket converter you used would give problems. I thought the use of a Cali spec converter was smart.
I've ordered the same for my Subaru Impreza 2010 on Amazon. It should be arriving 12.01.21. But DNA Motoring. Do you know something about this company?
I will be doing this job soon. I am a little worried about removing head bolts/nuts. If my car had the head gasket replaced 10k miles ago, my mechanic would have most likely removed these bolts/nuts right? So they shouldn’t be too difficult to break free?
Will this work on a 2014 outback?
Great video. Can you share what brand and where did you buy it?
Thanks for making a great video. Everything was well lit, easy to see and I appreciate the tips. My replacement cat should be coming in today.
what brand of replacement part did you use for the cat? Nice video.
What range of vehicles follow this process? Asking as a 2008 Impreza owner..
Another great video as always! I have always JB welded my heat shields back together when they start to rattle. It works great. I was never aware that you could run without them.
