MagnaFlow specializes in superior catalytic converter and exhaust technology and has spent the past 30+ years earning its reputation as a global market leader. American engineered and manufactured, MagnaFlow Catalytic Converters combine efficient industrial design to produce a product that exceeds, rather than meets, the highest standards of product performance and efficiency in the industry. MagnaFlow uses Ceramic substrates with different combinations of cell density and wall thickness to meet vehicle specific requirements.
MagnaFlow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converters are designed for easy bolt-on installation for the Professional Installer. Each is designed to exact the original equipment specifications. While the majority of the Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter products do not require welding, cutting or bending, limited applications may require additional welding for optimal installation.
All California State Catalytic converters are CARB compliant. Converters in this catalog are based on Executive Orders issued by the California Air Resource Board and must be used in accordance with this information. In California, it is illegal to select a catalytic converter for installation based solely on vehicle weight and engine size.
Specifications:
- Stainless steel construction
- California Emissions compliant design
- Formulated for Gas and Diesel Applications
If you're looking to swap out your old catalytic converter for something that really gets the job done, check out this Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter from MagnaFlow. It's designed with precision, so it fits right in without any hassle.
What's Inside?
- **Converter Quantity:** You get three converters in this setup, which is pretty solid for a clean exhaust flow.
- **Finish:** Made from stainless steel, so you know it’s built to last and resist corrosion.
- **Inlet Attachment:** It’s a bolt-on design. That means no welding required—just a few tools and you're good to go.
- **Main Piping Diameter:** Comes with a 2-inch diameter, which should keep the exhaust flowing smoothly.
- **Oxygen Sensor Locations:** You’ll find O2 sensor placements both before and after the converter. This is crucial for keeping your engine running efficiently.
- **Series:** This is part of the California line, so it's CARB compliant. If you're in California, you know how important that is to stay legal.
MagnaFlow really knows their stuff when it comes to exhaust systems. This converter is crafted to meet original equipment specs, which means you won’t have to worry about that pesky Check Engine Light flickering on after installation.
Important Notes:
Universal Fitment: While these converters are designed for specific models, it's always a good idea to double-check compatibility with your vehicle. Do your homework to ensure a proper fit.
For Racing Use Only: Just a heads up, this product is strictly for racing competition. It’s not street-legal, so if you’re planning to hit the highways, steer clear of this one. You'll need to sign a Vehicle Compliance Waiver before purchasing it, which you can find here.
This specific converter fits models like the Ford Thunderbird from 1996-1997 and the Mercury Cougar from the same years. If you own one of these, you’re in luck!
