The Redback MCV108 is a manifold catalytic converter listed to fit the Subaru XV from 2011 to 2020. It's a replacement emissions part for the original close-coupled cat, not a performance exhaust.
What is a manifold catalytic converter on the XV?
On a boxer-engined Subaru like the XV, the catalytic converter sits close behind the manifold so it heats up fast and cleans the exhaust gas efficiently from the moment the engine warms. That's the function the MCV108 covers — it's the emissions hardware the car was built with, packaged near the engine. As a replacement unit you fit it when the original cat has worn out or failed, to return the exhaust to its intended state. It isn't a part you add to chase a different note or extra output; its job is purely to keep the emissions system doing what it was designed to do.
Will it suit my Subaru XV?
The MCV108 is listed to fit the Subaru XV across the 2011 to 2020 window — a long run that spans more than one engine update, so fitment can come down to the exact variant. Treat the listing as a starting point and let us confirm the MCV108 is correct for your XV before it's ordered.
Why replace the cat at all?
The catalytic converter is part of the emissions equipment your XV was certified with, so a failed or hollowed-out cat can affect how the car runs and how it presents at inspection. Fitting a correct replacement restores that function. We're making no approval claim beyond that — check any specific requirements for your vehicle and state with us.
What does fitting involve at the workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MCV108 in-house across the Illawarra, on the hoist where the manifold-area fasteners and oxygen-sensor bungs can be handled properly. We check the flanges and seals before fitting. At $735 RRP it's quoted against your specific XV.
Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
Common questions
- Is the MCV108 a performance upgrade?
- No. It's a manifold catalytic converter for the Subaru XV — an emissions-control replacement that restores the factory cat function rather than changing sound or output.
- Does it cover the whole 2011 to 2020 XV range?
- It's listed across that range, but the XV saw engine updates over those years, so confirm your exact variant with the workshop before ordering.
