MagnaFlow Ceramic Catalytic Converter - Stainless Steel - Universal - California Approved

MagnaFlow Catalytic Converters - MF444105

This MagnaFlow catalytic converter has a ribbed steel body encasing 2 superbly engineered catalysts. These catalysts have large surface areas to speed up exhaust breakdown. 50-State legal.

Features:

• Ceramic catalyst is engineered for maximum airflow
  • Honeycomb design and detailed coating process allow the converter to break down as much exhaust as possible
  • Speedy conversion of exhaust to harmless gases increases airflow through the converter
• Ribbed body encases the ceramic catalyst
  • Reduces expansion and distortion when the converter reaches its high operating temperature
  • Forms channels that hold the ceramic in proper alignment
• Heavy-gauge stainless steel shield against is seam welded to the body
  • Forms a strong bond to prevent the ceramic from shifting
  • Includes ribbing as a final layer of protection against heat damage
  • Reinforces the structural stability of the converter
• Compliant with emissions control standards in all 50 states and in Canada
  • 50-State EPA approved and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certified
  • OBD-II compliant (models made in 1996 or later)
• Universal-fit design
• Limited lifetime warranty
• Made in the USA

A. MagnaFlow engineers its converters with maximum airflow in mind. The large surface area of the honeycomb ceramic catalyst is combined with a detailed coating process to allow exhaust to flow freely through the converter. Innovative technology allows each catalyst to both oxidize and reduce harmful emissions.

B. A ribbed body encases the ceramic to reduce expansion and distortion when the converter reaches its high operating temperature. The ribs form channels that hold the ceramic catalysts in proper alignment and protect the cushioning mat from direct exposure to exhaust gases.

C. MagnaFlow converters have a smooth-flowing, 1/2" lap joint where the neck and body connect. This joint prevents the neck from extending into the body, where it could impede exhaust flow.

D. MagnaFlow maintains separate dies for several converter body sizes and corresponding neck sizes. This process eliminates the need to adapt neck sizes to make them fit on a single converter body size, which would increase back pressure ("exhaust turbulence") and decrease airflow, effectively reducing horsepower.

E. The ceramic catalysts are seam welded to a heavy-gauge stainless steel converter body. Furthermore, a stainless steel heat shield is seam welded to the inner converter body. This style of welding forms a strong bond between the converter's components and prevents the ceramic from shifting.

F. Ribbing on the shield offers a final layer of protection against heat damage and reinforces the structural stability of the entire converter.
