2007-2012 Chevy Colorado & GMC Canyon 2.9L Manifold Converter Guide

A search for a Chevy Colorado exhaust manifold can return parts for several engines and exhaust positions. For the 2.9L four-cylinder applications covered here, Torqvo TQ-EM-0999-KIT is a front assembly that combines the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. That distinction matters: a bare manifold or a separate converter further down the exhaust system is a different component.

This guide brings the relevant years, engine, position, and OE references together so you can identify the listed application without piecing together several catalogs.

Which Colorado and Canyon models are covered?

Coverage is engine-specific. The table does not extend to other engine sizes, other model years, or another converter location merely because the truck carries the Colorado or Canyon name. For example, a 2010 Colorado with the listed 2.9L engine falls within this application range; a different engine in a 2010 Colorado does not qualify on model year alone.

The OE numbers that identify this application

The listed OE cross-references for TQ-EM-0999-KIT are 12604220, 12607896, 8126042220, and 8126078960. OE means original equipment: these references connect a replacement listing with the original assembly it is intended to replace. They are not the Torqvo stock number.

Already have one of those numbers? Use Torqvo’s OE-number search to go directly to the matching listing. Spaces or hyphens do not affect the search. The product page then shows the complete vehicle application and installation position alongside the part number.

Why “manifold converter” is the useful search term

The exhaust manifold collects exhaust leaving the engine. A catalytic converter performs a separate job in the exhaust stream. A manifold converter places both functions in one assembly. Searching for the complete assembly helps narrow the choices when the required repair involves this front unit.

A helpful search phrase is “2009 GMC Canyon 2.9L front manifold converter”. It includes four useful details: year, model, engine, and location. Searching only for “Canyon catalytic converter” leaves out the distinctions that separate this part from other exhaust components.

Emissions specification: this version is not CARB certified

TQ-EM-0999-KIT is not a CARB-certified replacement. It is not the version for an application requiring a CARB-approved converter. A mechanical fit and emissions approval are separate requirements; the correct years and engine do not turn a non-certified converter into a certified one. The product’s emissions specification is part of its fitment information, not an optional detail.

Plan the repair around the actual fault

A part selection guide answers which assembly is listed for a vehicle; it does not establish why a vehicle needs repair. If your starting point is a check-engine light or a suspected leak, our P0420 and exhaust-leak guide explains the diagnostic questions to address before replacing a converter. For work planning, see our exhaust manifold replacement overview. Vehicle-specific service instructions supply the fastener torque and tightening sequence.

Quick answers

Does this listing cover the Isuzu i-290?

Yes. The listed coverage includes the 2007–2008 Isuzu i-290 with the 2.9L four-cylinder engine, at the front position.

Is this a universal catalytic converter?

No. It is an application-specific integrated manifold and converter for the combinations in the table.
