For the Toyota RAV4 from 2003, the Redback C1542 is a manifold catalytic converter — exhaust manifold and catalytic converter combined in one bolt-on unit. Redback supplies it as a direct replacement for the factory close-coupled part, listed at 609 AUD.

What the C1542 replaces

On the RAV4 the manifold and the cat are cast as one close-coupled assembly that bolts to the cylinder head — the manifold gathers exhaust from the ports and the converter treats it, with the cat sitting close enough to the engine to light off quickly. The C1542 is the whole-unit replacement when the converter substrate breaks down, the housing cracks, or rattling internals trip a fault, since a cast-in cat can't be patched in isolation.

Will it suit my RAV4?

It's listed to fit the Toyota RAV4 from 2003. With no engine or series published beyond that, we treat fitment as listed-to-fit and confirm the unit matches your specific vehicle's head, flange and oxygen-sensor arrangement before ordering. A manifold cat has to mate exactly to the engine it replaces, so we check the listing against the car first.

Is it road legal?

This is a replacement catalytic converter, not a delete — it restores the emissions hardware the RAV4 was built with rather than removing it, which is the registration-friendly direction for a road-driven SUV. We confirm the unit suits your vehicle and that the finished exhaust meets NSW requirements; as a manifold cat it's a compliant repair, not an off-road part.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits RAV4 manifold cats across the Illawarra. We match the C1542 listing to your vehicle, confirm the flange and sensor ports, then fit it with fresh gaskets so the joint seals clean for the heat. RRP is listed at 609 AUD; the fitting cost is quoted once the car is with us.
