Description
Designed to replace the factory exhaust catalyst on select BMW platforms, MagnaFlow's OEM-grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 49786 maintains proper emissions compliance while preserving driveability. This direct-fit unit delivers free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing and corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, enabling a straightforward installation with no cutting or welding required. MagnaFlow’s advanced metrology ensures a precise OE-like fit, while a spun body with a single laser fusion weld minimizes leaks and supports thermal efficiency. Compatible with BMW models including the 1999-2003 540i and the 1999-2001 740i/740iL, it interchanges with OE part 18 30 1 437 546 and meets EPA emissions standards for OBDII-equipped vehicles.
