A-Premium Front Exhaust Manifold Catalytic Converter for Hyundai Accent & Veloster 1.6L — Stainless Steel, EPA-Compliant

A-Premium’s front exhaust manifold catalytic converter replaces the factory front converter for select Hyundai and Kia 1.6L models, offering EPA-compliant emissions control and a direct-fit stainless steel assembly.

This front catalytic converter is engineered to match the dimensions and mounting points of original equipment for Hyundai Accent and Veloster (2012–2017) and several Kia models (2012–2016), providing a practical replacement when the factory unit requires service. Built from stainless steel with a single oxygen-sensor port, the converter balances durability and fitment accuracy. Note that state regulations vary — some restricted states limit aftermarket sale or installation of EPA-compliant converters.

Will this converter fit my Hyundai Accent or Veloster?

Yes, the A-Premium front catalytic converter is designed for 1.6L L4 engines in Hyundai Accent (2012–2017) and Veloster (2012–2017). It uses the same mounting orientation and sensor location as many OE front units to ease installation and reduce modification.

• Exact reference numbers: 16680, 641502, 674-891, 285102BEF1, 285002BSNA

Is this converter legal to use where I live?

The unit is sold as EPA-compliant for federal emissions specifications, but local laws can restrict aftermarket conversions. California, Colorado and some cases in Maine and New York have stricter regulations that may prohibit sale or installation of aftermarket converters labeled only as EPA-compliant.

• Federal emissions: compatible with vehicles regulated under federal standards
• Restricted states: CA, CO, NY, ME — verify local rules before buying
• Check your vehicle’s Emission Control Information Label for certification needs
• Contact local authority or installer if unsure about state compliance

Who is this for? This A-Premium front exhaust manifold catalytic converter is suited for vehicle owners and independent mechanics replacing a failing or damaged front converter on compatible Hyundai Accent, Veloster, Kia Rio, or Soul models with the 1.6L L4 engine. It’s a practical choice if you need a stainless steel direct-fit replacement with a single oxygen-sensor port and a manufacturer-backed warranty, but confirm state emissions rules before purchasing if you live in a restricted jurisdiction.
