The MPI Automotive MRC33118 is the front manifold catalytic converter for the 3.0L V6 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute, listed for 2001 to 2008.

What is this part?

The MRC33118 is the front-bank manifold catalytic converter for the 3.0L V6 shared by the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute. On a transverse V6 each bank runs its own combined manifold-and-converter; this is the front one, the more accessible of the pair. It is a direct converter assembly that retains the factory emissions hardware.

Why replace a manifold cat?

A manifold catalytic converter joins the exhaust manifold and the converter into a single unit, and with age it can break down internally or crack, throwing an emissions fault. A like-for-like replacement restores the converter's function rather than altering the exhaust note. As a converter, this part is about emissions and a clean seal, not a flow or sound gain, so no figures of that kind are published.

Will it suit my Escape or Tribute?

It is listed to fit the 3.0L V6 Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute from 2001 to 2008, as the front-bank unit. The rear, firewall-side bank is covered by the companion MRC33119. Confirm your exact year, engine and which bank you need with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

The front manifold cat is the more reachable of the two banks, though it still needs both joints sealing correctly. Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits the MRC33118 in the Illawarra, checking gasket seal and converter clearance before the car is handed back.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
