MagnaFlow OEM Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 52426 for Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta
$559.00

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 both Ceramic and Metallic substrates with different combinations of cell density and wall thickness to meet vehicle specific requirements.

MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converters form the basic building blocks for a comprehensive line of direct-fit applications.

The main benefit of the universal catalytic converter is that one unit may cover a wide variety of vehicle makes and models. Installing universal converters often requires the use of welding, cutting and tube bending equipment that is readily available to most professional installers.

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

Why This Catalytic Converter is a Game Changer

If you’re looking to boost your ride's performance while keeping things legal on the racetrack, you might want to check out this MagnaFlow OEM Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter. It’s built with a stainless steel body, so you know it’s tough enough to withstand the heat of competition. The ceramic substrate is designed to optimize exhaust flow, which means you’ll get better performance without sacrificing efficiency.

Now, let’s talk dimensions. The inlet and outlet diameters are both 2.25 inches, which is pretty standard but ensures a solid fit for most setups. The overall length of 45.125 inches gives you plenty of room to work with when installing it. And if you’re wondering about the mounting, it uses factory hangers, so you won’t need to get too creative when it comes to installation. Just bolt it on and clamp it down, and you’re good to go!

One thing to keep in mind: this isn’t just a casual upgrade. It’s specifically designed for racing competition, which means it’s not street legal. If you’re serious about your track days, this could be the perfect addition to your setup. Just make sure to sign the Vehicle Compliance Waiver before you hit the checkout.

Important Details

This converter is a specific fit, meaning it’s tailored for certain models. If you own a Volkswagen Beetle (1998-2006), Golf MK4 (1999-2004), Golf MK5 (2005-2006), or Jetta (1999-2005), you’re in luck! Just double-check your vehicle’s specs to ensure compatibility. And while it’s not California Air Resources Board approved, that’s a small price to pay for the performance gains you’ll see on the track.

In short, if you’re ready to take your racing game to the next level, this catalytic converter is a solid choice. Just remember, it’s meant for competition use only, so keep that in mind when you’re planning your next race.
