Expert Reply:
I contacted our representative at MagnaFlow about the differences in the metallic and ceramic catalytic converters.
The representative informed me that the metallic catalytic converters, like part # MF59956 are a bit stronger and would be good for applications where the catalytic converter is close to the header as they can handle more heat. The metallic ones are usually used on OBD1 applications.
The ceramic catalytic converters, such as part # MF99659HM, are not as strong and usually do not last as long as metallic substrate converters. Typically the ceramic converters are used on OBDII vehicles.
I attached an FAQ on catalytic converters for you to check out also.
