Product Description

The MagnaFlow 49689 is an OEM Grade Federal/EPA compliant direct-fit catalytic converter engineered specifically for the 2007-2009 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU (Unlimited) equipped with the 3.8L V6 engine, covering all trims including Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, and X in both 2-door and 4-door configurations. Built to replicate the original equipment converter in form, fit, and function, this replacement unit uses MagnaFlow's 3D scanning metrology process to ensure exact dimensional accuracy - delivering a bolt-on installation that requires no cutting, welding, or bending under standard conditions. The OEM Grade designation means this converter carries higher precious metal loading than standard grade alternatives, resulting in superior catalytic conversion efficiency and longer-term durability in demanding conditions.

The spun body construction mirrors the OE design and offers excellent resistance to corrosion and distortion, while the single laser fusion weld minimizes the risk of exhaust leaks at body seams. Free-flowing mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel tubing preserves the factory exhaust flow geometry for optimal fuel economy and engine function, and the four OEM-positioned O2 sensor ports allow direct sensor reinstallation without modification. The ceramic honeycomb substrate delivers high conversion efficiency across a wide operating temperature range while the compact low-mass body design accelerates catalyst warm-up for improved cold-start emissions performance.

This converter is Federal/EPA compliant and certified for use in all states except California, Colorado, and New York - it is not CARB approved and must not be installed in CARB-restricted states. Gaskets and hangers are not included; the factory hangers should be reused, and gaskets should be inspected and replaced separately as needed. A Torca clamp is included for the clamp-on outlet connection. Made in the USA and backed by MagnaFlow's limited lifetime warranty, the 49689 is a reliable, code-clearing direct replacement for any 2007-2009 Wrangler JK or JKU owner outside of emissions-restricted states.
