• 1/2" Welded Lap Joints:  All joints are welded 1/2" overlapped joints to ensure leak free quality.
• Catalyst Material:  MagnaFlow catalytic converters use a monolithic honeycomb catalyst.  The ceramic is designed for maximum flow and surface area, reducing flow restrictions.
• Seam Welded Body:  MagnaFlow converters are seam welded close to the converter body for a strong tight bond that prevents the catalyst from becoming loose and shifting.
• OEM Heat Shield:  MagnaFlow catalytic converters uses an OEM style ribbed heat shield that creates a rigid wall of heat protection and adds structural stability.
• Direct Vehicle Fit:  Direct Fit catalytic converters are designed to bolt on to the existing exhaust for quick and easy installation.  No cutting or fabricating should be necessary.

Order Notes

Please Note: If you live in California, you must order a California approved converter to meet emissions requirements. We are not authorized to ship 49 State converters to a California address. Any 49 State converters purchased with the intent of being used in California are non-refundable.

MagnaFlow Catalytic Converters Frequently Asked Questions

SELECTING THE PROPER UNIVERSAL:
(Non OBD-II Vehicles)


Engine Size:
Determine engine size before selecting the converter. Converters are listed according to legal engine size.
If engine has been changed and is not the same model year as the chassis, proceed as follows:

1. If the engine is older than the chassis, select the converter according to the chassis model year.
2. If the engine is newer than the chassis, select the converter according to the engine requirement.
3. Inform the owner that improper engine switching is not legal. The customer and the shop that switched the engine could be fined $2,500.00.

Converter Type:
Determine the type of converter being replaced. Check whether the converter is a 2-Way, 3-Way, or 3-Way + Air (See EFCI Click Here).

Vehicle Weight (Test Weight):
Determine the weight limit before selecting the converter. Converter coverage is listed according to Test Weight.

How To Calculate Vehicle Test Weight:
For passenger cars and light duty trucks less than 6000 lbs. GVW
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) Less Vehicle Capacity Plus 300 Lbs. = Vehicle Test Weight.

For trucks over 6000 pounds GVW
(Gross Vehicle Weight + Curb Weight) x 1/2 = Vehicle Test Weight

This information can be found on a tag inside vehicle door or in the vehicle owner’s manual (Use as estimate only).
