Product Description

The MagnaFlow 53009 Standard Grade Universal Catalytic Converter is engineered for use in custom or replacement exhaust applications where a direct OE-specific part is not available. Built with a rugged stainless steel clam-shell body and an integrated heat shield, this converter delivers long-lasting corrosion resistance and helps reduce harmful exhaust emissions when properly installed. Its ceramic honeycomb substrate is optimized to meet Federal/EPA emissions standards, making it suitable for use in federally registered vehicles although it is not CARB certified for states requiring California emissions compliance.

This universal converter features 3.0 in inlet and outlet weld-on connections and requires cutting into the existing exhaust and welding to secure it in place. Because no oxygen sensor ports are pre-drilled, additional adapter or fabrication may be needed if your vehicle uses downstream sensors. MagnaFlow's design offers versatility for custom exhaust builds and older vehicle restorations where adaptability is key. Professional installation is strongly recommended for best fit and performance.
