MAGNAFLOW CATALYTIC CONVERTER QUALITY:

1. MagnaFlow converters have a ribbed body that minimizes expansion and distortion when the converter heats up.
2. MagnaFlow converters have a 1/2” lap-joint where the necks meet the body. The neck does not extend into the converter body where it could hamper exhaust flow.
3. We maintain separate dies on different sized inlets. We don’t skimp by putting larger neck sizes on smaller bodies. This would reduce the flow of the converter and reduce the quality of our product.
4. MagnaFlow uses a monolithic honeycomb catalyst. The ceramic is designed for maximum flow and surface area. The coating method is strictly controlled to maintain exact specifications. (49-State & Canada emissions only)
5. MagnaFlow uses a heavier gauge stainless steel, tip to tip.
6. MagnaFlow converters are seam welded close to the converter body for a strong, tight bond.
7. MagnaFlow installs a factory capped, 90 degree air tube on “with air” converters. This saves time during installation. There is no need for additional labor to weld on an air tube or to create a bend when only an air tube stub is provided.
8. MagnaFlow uses an aluminized or stainless OEM-style ribbed heat shield that creates a rigid wall of protection against heat and adds to the structural stability of the converter.
   

Have You Fixed the Problem that Caused your OEM Converter to Fail?

Catalytic Converters are designed to last the life of your vehicle – they do not fail on their own. It is important to fix the source of the problem before replacing your OEM converter. There are three major reasons a converter fails:

OVERHEATED / MELTED
Often caused by unburned fuel entering the converter from a faulty: Spark Plug Exhaust Valve Oxygen Sensor Fuel Injector Burned Converter

CATALYST POISONING
Often caused by exposure to emissions substances from: Leaky Cylinder Head Gasket Silicone-Based Sealant Improper Fuel (E85, Diesel) Worn Piston Ring / Valve Seal Oil Fouled Converter

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Often caused by road debris, corrosion or other conditions such as: Air Gap Pipe Failure Flex Pipe Failure Stripped O2 Sensor Threads Broken Hangers Dented Converter

Helpful Tools: Oxygen (O2) Sensor Socket / Wrench | Penetrating Oil | Anti-Seize Lubricant | Sanding Block Pad | Fuel System Cleaner
