Why Direct Fit? DEC is one of the largest manufacturers of direct fit catalytic converters in the automotive aftermarket industry, providing both import and domestic coverage. DEC is headquartered in Van Nuys, California where we have 45,000 square feet of manufacturing and R&D facilities. Primarily DEC runs two shifts, and can flex to three shifts upon volume requirements. Page - 13

DEC has more than 3,500 SKUs, providing fitment for over 51,000 applications. In addition, we maintain a constant supply of OEM samples that are un-cataloged, waiting for a request to bring them into full production. DEC‘s strongest area of concentration has been in import applications but our domestic line has grown to become 27% of our business. We have by far, more Direct Fit Applications than any of our competitors.   Page - 14

DEC only builds direct fit catalytic converters DEC only builds direct fit catalytic converters. Many of our competitors build “semi-direct” fit converters where cutting and welding is necessary. This misses the mark in our opinion. If the OEM part is built with a resonator, the replacement assembly must include that resonator as the OEM replacement would.
