{"product_id":"catalytic-converter-gasket-34","title":"Catalytic Converter Gasket","description":"The Genuine BMW catalytic converter gasket, part number 18307581970, is a direct-fit replacement designed to create a tight seal between the turbocharger and the catalytic converter. This ensures that exhaust gases are properly directed through the catalytic converter for emissions control, preventing leaks that can cause audible hissing or popping sounds, especially during acceleration.\n\nIts primary function is to prevent the escape of exhaust gases at the connection points, thereby ensuring the catalytic converter operates efficiently to reduce harmful emissions.\n\nSymptoms of a failed catalytic converter gasket can include noticeable exhaust leaks, characterized by unusual sounds, and a strong exhaust odor due to unprocessed pollutants escaping before being treated. Replacing a faulty gasket is essential for maintaining proper exhaust system function and environmental compliance.\n\nThis gasket is compatible with a wide range of BMW models, including various 3 Series (328i), 5 Series (528i, 528i xDrive), X1, and Z4 variants from model years 2012 through 2026, covering multiple engine configurations such as N20B20A, N26B20A, B46A20B, and B48A20O2\/T1 engines.","brand":"BMW Turbo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687194620216,"sku":"18307581970","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687890542.webp?v=1784881267","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/catalytic-converter-gasket-34","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
