MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Catalytic Converter - Direct-Fit

1987 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 - MagnaFlow Stainless Steel Catalytic Converter - Direct-Fit

MagnaFlow ceramic catalysts have large surface areas to speed up the exhaust breakdown process while a ribbed body and external shield offer protection. Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 specific design with mandrel bent tubes increase air flow. Not CARB compliant.

Features:

• Improved air flow leads to more horsepower and torque and greater efficiency
  • Mandrel bent tubes allow for unrestricted airflow by maintaining the same diameter through every curve
    • Unrestricted airflow decreases back pressure ("exhaust turbulence"), maximizing efficiency
  • Ceramic catalyst engineered for maximum airflow
    • Honeycomb design and a detailed coating process allow the converter to break down as much exhaust as possible
• Vehicle-specific design for easy bolt-on installation
  • OEM fitting uses all factory hanger locations and flanges
• Ribbed body encases the ceramic to reduce expansion and distortion when the converter reaches its high operating temperature
  • Ribs form channels that hold the ceramic in proper alignment
• Heavy-gauge, stainless steel shield is seam welded to the ribbed body
  • Forms a strong bond to prevent the ceramic from shifting
  • Includes ribbing as a final layer of protection against heat damage
  • Reinforces the structural stability of the entire converter
• Limited lifetime warranty

Note: This product cannot be shipped to or used in California, Colorado, Maine, or New York.

This catalytic converter is vehicle-specific, so the included clamps and hooks connect to the factory flanges and hanger locations, making installation quick and easy. It includes Mandrel bent tubes that reduce exhaust turbulence to improve airflow.

A. MagnaFlow engineers its converters with maximum airflow in mind. The large surface area of the honeycomb ceramic catalyst combines with a detailed coating process to allow the most exhaust to flow through the converter. Innovative technology allows each catalyst to both oxidize and reduce harmful emissions.

B. A ribbed body encases the ceramic to reduce expansion and distortion when the converter reaches its high operating temperature. The ribs form channels that hold the ceramic in proper alignment and protect the cushioning mat from direct exposure to exhaust gases.

C. MagnaFlow converters have a smooth-flowing, 1/2" lap joint where the neck and body connect. This joint prevents the neck from extending into the body, where it could hamper exhaust flow.

D. MagnaFlow maintains separate dies for several converter body sizes and corresponding neck sizes. This process eliminates the need to adapt neck sizes to make them fit on a single converter body size, which would increase back pressure and decrease airflow and horsepower.

E. The ceramic catalysts are seam welded to a heavy-gauge, stainless steel converter body. Furthermore, a stainless steel heat shield is seam welded to the inner converter body. This style of welding forms a strong bond between the converter's components and prevents the ceramics from shifting.

F. Ribbing on the shield offers a final layer of protection against heat damage while reinforcing the structural stability of the entire converter.
