Type: Catalytic Converter Universal

Vehicle Fitment

Universal fit - not vehicle-specific. Compatible with any vehicle running 2.5 in. exhaust piping that requires an OBD-II Federal/EPA compliant catalytic converter. Cutting and welding are required during installation. Verify your vehicle's VECI label for Federal or California emissions designation before purchase.

Fitment Notes

Universal design - cutting, welding, and tube-bending are required for installation; this converter does not bolt directly onto any factory exhaust system
Federal/EPA compliant - NOT legal for sale, installation, or use in California, Colorado, or New York
Designed for OBDII vehicles (1996 and newer) with Federal or California-spec emissions systems registered outside of California
OEM Grade designation - formulated for vehicles with California emissions systems operating in Federal (non-California) markets; contains higher precious metal loading than Standard Grade converters
No O2 sensor ports included - if your application requires an O2 sensor bung, it must be welded on separately during installation
No AIR tube adapter - not compatible with secondary air injection systems
Gaskets, clamps, and hangers are NOT included
Tuning may be required after installation on OBDII-equipped vehicles
Professional installation by a qualified exhaust shop is strongly recommended

Features

OEM Grade Federal/EPA compliant design meets or exceeds Federal emissions requirements for OBDII vehicles - formulated with higher precious metal loading for superior conversion efficiency compared to Standard Grade converters
Engineered for vehicles with California-spec emissions systems operating in Federal markets, ensuring effective emissions reduction even on stricter-calibrated engine systems
Clamshell body construction features a continuous seam weld for superior structural integrity and thermal insulation over traditional stamped body designs
Ceramic honeycomb substrate provides maximum catalyst surface area, high conversion efficiency, and strong thermal durability across a wide operating temperature range
Ribbed body design minimizes expansion and distortion under heat cycles while holding the ceramic catalyst in proper alignment and protecting the cushioning mat from direct exhaust gas exposure
Seam weld positioned close to the converter body - not along the edge - prevents accordion-style expansion that can allow the catalyst substrate to shift
Funneled inlet and outlet cones with a 1/2 in. lap joint design prevent the neck from intruding into the converter body, ensuring unrestricted exhaust flow
Integrated stainless steel heat shield attached to the body provides thermal protection for surrounding components and adds structural stability
Heavier-gauge stainless steel construction used tip-to-tip - no inferior mixed materials or weight reductions
Expertly formulated catalyst blend maximizes emissions conversion efficiency to keep the check engine light off
Made in the USA and backed by MagnaFlow's 5-year construction / 25,000-mile emissions warranty for Federal vehicles

Included Components

1x MagnaFlow 51006 OEM Grade universal catalytic converter with integrated stainless steel heat shield

Product Description

The MagnaFlow 51006 is an OEM Grade Federal/EPA compliant universal catalytic converter designed for OBDII vehicles (1996 and newer) running 2.5-inch exhaust piping and registered outside of California. Built to OEM Grade standards, this converter carries a higher precious metal loading than Standard Grade alternatives, making it specifically suited for vehicles equipped with California-spec emissions systems operating in Federal markets. The result is a converter that delivers superior catalytic conversion efficiency for HC, CO, and NOx reduction - helping eliminate check engine light codes caused by catalytic converter failure while maintaining proper emissions compliance.

The 51006 uses MagnaFlow's clamshell body construction with a continuous seam weld for superior structural rigidity and thermal insulation. The oval body houses a ceramic honeycomb substrate with a ribbed exterior that prevents heat-induced distortion and keeps the catalyst in proper alignment throughout its service life. The funneled inlet and outlet cones use a 1/2-inch lap joint design that keeps the pipe necks from intruding into the converter body, preserving unrestricted exhaust flow. An integrated stainless steel heat shield is factory-attached to protect surrounding components from radiated heat.

Because this is a universal converter, installation requires cutting, welding, and potentially tube-bending - professional installation by a licensed exhaust shop is strongly recommended. There are no O2 sensor ports included; if your application requires an oxygen sensor bung, it must be welded on separately. No clamps, gaskets, or hangers are included. This converter is not CARB certified and is not legal for use in California, Colorado, or New York. Made in the USA and backed by a 5-year construction warranty and 25,000-mile emissions warranty for Federally registered vehicles.
