MagnaFlow 51888 is an OEM Grade direct-fit manifold catalytic converter for the driver side bank, replacing the factory exhaust manifold and its close-coupled converter as one spun, one-piece assembly. A 28.5 inch overall length houses an 8 inch ceramic substrate inside 16 gauge 409 stainless steel tubing joined by 308 stainless steel MIG welds, and a single laser fusion weld on the spun body reduces leak paths. Mandrel bent tubing reproduces OE flow geometry, and flanged inlet and outlet bolt up with no cutting or welding.
