Specs:
A. MagnaFlow engineers its converters with maximum airflow in mind. The large surface area of the honeycomb ceramic catalyst is combined with a detailed coating process to allow exhaust to flow quickly 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 catalysts 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 impede 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 ("exhaust turbulence") and decrease airflow, effectively reducing 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 ceramic from shifting.
F. Ribbing on the shield offers a final layer of protection against heat damage and reinforces the structural stability of the entire converter.
Ratings & Reviews
Love it! Still works and not stolen.
Part was exactly as it should be. Video instructions were very accurate. Half an hour to get the car off the floor. Half an hour to remove the old part. 3 days to get the 'might be needed and did need' exhaust gasket. Half an hour to convince the gasket it wanted to go on. Half an hour to install the catalytic converter. 15 minutes to get the car back on the floor. One day of driving for the computer to reset the engine light. Perfect.
August 2029 I went to start my car a heard this horrible metal grinding noise. It too me four hours to figure out my Catalytic converter was stolen.
Not having insurance coverage for a new one, I checked online for a replacement.
The cost of this was 1/5 the cost for a full replacement. My girlfriend and I installed it in less than 20 minutes. The accompanying video was appreciated and helpful to watch. I also bought an O2 sensor and package of two spring bolts. Turned out the spring bolts had dropped strait below where they were removed and caught on a shield below. I went ahead and used the new spring bolts. Thank you etrailer for this product.
