[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1017927, member: 58988"] Direct fit means that it will bolt on with no alterations. Since 2009, the CARB has been anal about aftermarket converters - they must be CARB approved and specific to the vehicle type (used to be that the weight and engine size were the determining factors). So, there are "49 state" (federal) and California replacement (aftermarket) catalytic converters. I suspect this is where the OEM term applies - if the replacement is OEM, then it's approved for use.
