Description
This direct-fit catalytic converter replaces the factory unit to restore emissions compliance and stop check-engine light faults on compatible BMW 318 models. Engineered by MagnaFlow with an HM Grade catalytic core and a spun-body design, the converter uses mandrel-bent tubing and corrosion-resistant stainless steel for durable, free-flowing exhaust performance. The OE-style fit and included gaskets and hardware make installation straightforward—no cutting or welding required—while EPA/Federal compliance and OBDII compatibility ensure legal operation on federally registered vehicles.
