Type: Catalytic Converter Universal

Vehicle Fitment

Universal fit - not vehicle-specific. Designed for pre-OBDII vehicles (manufactured before 1996) running 3.0 in. exhaust piping that require a Federal/EPA compliant catalytic converter replacement. Cutting and welding are required during installation. Verify your vehicle's emissions designation before purchase - this converter is intended for pre-1996 Federal/EPA registered vehicles only.

Fitment Notes

Standard Grade - designed for pre-OBDII vehicles (pre-1996 model year); NOT suitable for 1996 and newer OBDII vehicles - use an OEM Grade converter for OBDII applications
Fits 3.0 in. exhaust piping only - do not confuse with the 2.5 in. Standard Grade 91076 or OEM Grade 51006/51206; verify your pipe diameter before ordering
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
No O2 sensor ports included - if your application requires an O2 sensor bung, it must be welded on separately
No AIR tube adapter - not compatible with secondary air injection systems
Gaskets, clamps, and hangers are NOT included
Professional installation by a qualified exhaust shop is strongly recommended

Features

Standard Grade Federal/EPA compliant design meets or exceeds EPA emissions requirements for pre-OBDII Federally registered vehicles (pre-1996 model year)
Large oval clamshell body (12 in. L x 6.5 in. W) with 3.0 in. piping - designed for higher-displacement pre-OBDII engines requiring greater exhaust flow capacity than 2.5 in. converter options
Clamshell body construction features a continuous seam weld for superior structural integrity and thermal insulation over traditional stamped body designs
Ceramic honeycomb substrate delivers maximum catalyst surface area, high conversion efficiency, and strong thermal durability across a wide operating temperature range
Ribbed body design minimizes heat-induced expansion and distortion 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 at the edge - prevents accordion-style expansion that can allow the substrate to shift during thermal cycling
Funneled inlet and outlet cones with a 1/2 in. lap joint design keep the pipe neck from intruding into the converter body, preserving full unrestricted exhaust flow through the 3.0 in. bore
Integrated stainless steel heat shield attached to the body provides thermal protection for surrounding components and adds structural stability
High strength 16 gauge 409 stainless steel tubing provides exceptional corrosion resistance and maximum service life
Compact and lightweight construction enables installation in confined underbody areas where space is limited
Expertly formulated catalyst blend maximizes emissions conversion efficiency to keep the check engine light off
Made in the USA and backed by MagnaFlow's warranty

Included Components

1x MagnaFlow 94009 Standard Grade universal oval catalytic converter with integrated stainless steel heat shield

Product Description

The MagnaFlow 94009 is a Standard Grade Federal/EPA compliant universal catalytic converter engineered for pre-OBDII vehicles - those manufactured before the 1996 model year - running 3.0-inch exhaust piping. The 3.0-inch bore is the key distinction of the 94009 within MagnaFlow's Standard Grade universal lineup, making it the correct choice for higher-displacement pre-OBDII engines that require greater exhaust flow capacity than 2.5-inch converter options can provide. Like the 91076, the 94009 is rated for pre-1996 Federal/EPA registered vehicles only and is not appropriate for 1996 and newer OBDII-equipped vehicles, which require an OEM Grade converter.

The large oval clamshell body (12 in. L x 6.5 in. W) with a 16-inch overall length houses a ceramic honeycomb substrate designed for maximum catalyst surface area and conversion efficiency. The body is ribbed to resist thermal expansion and catalyst movement, and the seam is welded close to the body shell - not at the edge - to ensure a gas-tight bond that does not allow accordion-style thermal expansion. The 1/2-inch lap joint at the inlet and outlet cones keeps the pipe necks outside the converter body to preserve full, unrestricted flow through the 3.0-inch bore. An integrated stainless steel heat shield is factory-attached to protect underbody components.

Because this is a universal converter, professional installation requiring welding, cutting, and tube-bending is necessary. There are no O2 sensor ports; bungs must be welded on separately if required. Gaskets, clamps, and hangers are not included. This converter is not CARB certified and is not legal for use in California, Colorado, or New York. Made in the USA from 16 gauge 409 stainless steel and backed by MagnaFlow's warranty for pre-OBDII Federal vehicles.
