Stay Legal without Compromising Performance with a MagnaFlow Catalytic Converter

How do you know when it’s time to replace your vehicle’s catalytic converter(s)? If you experience one or more of these conditions, chances are good your converter has gone bad:
• Check Engine light illuminates
• Sluggish acceleration
• Noticeable drop in fuel economy
• ‘Rotten egg’ or sulfur smell
• Engine misfires
• Rattling noise under the vehicle

A new MagnaFlow Universal or Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter will make those issues go away and keep your vehicle emissions-compliant. MagnaFlow 3D scans factory converters to create CAD models used to validate fitment and features critical to proper converter function and efficiency. MagnaFlow does five-gas emissions testing in-house to make sure each converter functions as designed.

Other features include:
• Proprietary catalyst coating process ensures precise calibration of platinum, palladium, and rhodium precious metals
• 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing provides OEM levels of strength and corrosion resistance
• 308 stainless steel MIG welds
• Mandrel bends allow for optimal exhaust flow to prevent heat from concentrating and creating weak points
• 410 stainless steel hangers match OEM specifications for proper fit
• 5-year/50,000-mile warranty

MagnaFlow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converters are engineered to bolt- or clamp-on with no cutting or welding required. MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converters are designed to be welded in place of the original equipment converter body and fit a wide array of vehicle applications. Professional installation is required.

MagnaFlow catalytic converters are available in several ‘grades’ based on EPA and/or CARB emissions regulations:
• OEM Grade converters are both EPA- and CARB-certified for 1996 and later vehicles with OBDII
• California Grade converters are CARB-certified for 1996 and later vehicles with OBDII. They are also suitable for use in other states that follow CARB regulations
• HM (Heavy Metal) Grade converters are EPA-certified for 1996 and later vehicles with OBDII diagnostic systems
• Standard Grade converters are EPA-certified for pre-OBDII vehicles

This MagnaFlow link will help you select the right catalytic converter, but check your local laws before purchasing one. You can always talk with a Summit Racing rep to find the right converter for your vehicle.
