Can you replace the catalytic converter on a 2002 Toyota Tacoma with an OEM after market catalytic converter?

I'd like to expand on your question concerning the catalytic converter on your 2002 Tacoma. Not to be argumentative with the person who responded and he is partially correct. OEM does mean original equipment manufacturer, but there are aftermarket cats that are OE type. There is nothing wrong with OE type aftermarket products, we buy them every day. Oil Filters, Brake Pads and Shoes, Front End Parts, Exhaust Systems, Batteries and so on. There are quality aftermarket catalytic converter manufacturers here in the US that make bolt on direct fit units to fit your vehicle. In addition there is really no such thing as a high flowing catalytic converter and the so called test pipe bit the dust some 12 years ago. In most states it is strictly against the law to tamper with a vehicles emission system and with 1996 and above OBDII systems you'd be crazy to even attempt it. Besides voiding any existing warranty on the vehicle you run the absolute certainty of the on board computer lighting up like a slot machine. Anyway to answer your question more completely check out the link below. http://www.discountconverter.com/catalytic_converters_news/news_page.cfm?Key=catalytic_converter-&News=2

Are there more than one catalytic converters on a Subaru Forester and will after market parts be ok to replace them with?

A catalytic converter is designed to burn any raw fuel or other hydrocarbons that get past the combustion chamber. If it's large enough to handle the exhaust, it's ok to use an aftermarket converter. If you have a single exhaust system, you only have one converter. If it's a TRUE dual exhaust, you'll have 2.
