Description
Direct-fit catalytic converter for 2010 Ford Escape 2.5L that keeps the check engine light off while restoring exhaust flow for reliable emissions compliance.
Product overview: Magnaflow California Grade CARB Compliant Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter (part number 5551517) is designed for straightforward replacement on the specified vehicle, combining a spun-body converter design with corrosion-resistant materials to deliver consistent performance and long-term durability.
- CARB Compliant, California Grade — Ensures the converter meets California emissions requirements so the vehicle maintains legal emissions performance and avoids CEL (check engine light) triggers related to catalytic efficiency.
- Direct-fit design — Built to match OE mounting points and flow characteristics for the 2010 Ford Escape 2.5L, simplifying installation and eliminating the need for custom fabrication.
- Free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing — Smooth-bend tubing reduces flow restriction compared with crushed or kinked pipe, supporting better exhaust scavenging and maintaining near-stock backpressure for consistent engine response.
- Highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction — Stainless materials resist rust and corrosion in typical road environments, extending service life and preserving fitment integrity over time.
- Spun body converter — The spun-body assembly provides a robust, uniform housing that facilitates fitment and heat management while maintaining structural stability under thermal cycling.
Why this matters: Each feature targets core functional outcomes required for a replacement catalytic converter — emissions compliance, reliable fitment, preserved exhaust flow, and material durability. Together these attributes reduce installation complexity and support long-term operational reliability for the vehicle’s emissions control system.
- Brand: Magnaflow — engineered replacement part intended to meet the expectations associated with the Magnaflow name for durability and functional performance.
- Part number: 5551517 — factory-referenced identifier for ordering and fitment verification.
