Description
This direct-fit catalytic converter from MagnaFlow replaces the factory unit on select 1996–1998 Chevrolet Blazer and GMC Jimmy models while meeting California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements for legal use in CARB-restricted states. Engineered with a spun body that replicates the OE profile and optimized with mandrel-bent tubing, the converter provides a compact, low-mass design for improved thermal efficiency and reduced leak potential thanks to a single laser fusion weld. Constructed from highly corrosion resistant stainless steel and developed using 3D scanning metrology, this part installs with basic tools and avoids cutting or welding for a bolt-on replacement that helps keep check engine lights off.
