MagnaFlow's California Grade manifold converter replaces the close-coupled converter and exhaust manifold on the 2.3L four cylinder as a single one-piece unit. The spun uncoated body uses 16 gauge 409 stainless steel tubing with 308 stainless steel MIG welds over a ceramic substrate, measuring 21.5 in overall with a 6.125 in converter body, flange inlet and outlet connections, and two oxygen sensor ports. Three bolts, three nuts, and the outlet mounting hardware are included. CARB Executive Order D-193-175 covers this converter for California and CARB states; it is not New York certified.
