Magnaflow Direct Fit Catalytic Converter Mandrel Bent Stainless Steel 97-98 Ford F-150 42L 4WD 49 State

This catalytic converter provides direct-fit replacement designed to maintain optimal exhaust flow and emissions control. It is manufactured using stainless steel construction to ensure corrosion resistance and long-term durability under high-temperature operation.

Key functional attributes include:

• Mandrel-bent tubing to minimize flow restrictions, promoting efficient exhaust gas movement and preserving engine performance.
• Federal/EPA compliance ensures emissions meet regulatory standards, helping to prevent check engine light issues related to catalytic efficiency.
• Direct-fit design eliminates the need for cutting or welding, simplifying installation while maintaining factory specifications and optimal sealing.
• Heavy-duty stainless steel construction enhances structural integrity and corrosion resistance for extended service life.

Its precise engineering allows for seamless integration with the existing exhaust system, ensuring consistent emissions control without compromising exhaust flow dynamics. This component is engineered for 4WD models equipped with the 4.2L engine, compatible with 1997-1998 Ford F-150 pickups across 49 states.

The straightforward installation process reduces labor complexity and time, making it suitable for professional installers and experienced DIY technicians alike. By maintaining proper catalytic converter function, it supports engine management system performance and efficient combustion emissions treatment.
