This MagnaFlow OEM Grade converter is the primary catalyst for the E400 3.0L and installs with the proper tools, no cutting or welding required. The 23.25 in assembly takes a 2.25 in inlet and a 2 in outlet, and MagnaFlow replicates the OE spun body so a single laser fusion weld replaces the seams where leaks usually start, while the compact low-mass shell reaches light-off temperature faster for better thermal efficiency. Tubing is high-strength 16 gauge 409 stainless steel with mandrel bends and 308 stainless steel MIG welds over a ceramic substrate. The housing carries two oxygen sensor ports, pre-converter and midbed, matching the factory sensor layout so the check engine light stays off, and four mounting nuts are supplied. It is built to meet Federal EPA emissions requirements and is not legal for sale or installation in California, Colorado or New York.
