MagnaFlow's OEM Grade converter replaces the rear underbody Y pipe and converter assembly on the 3.5L V6, collecting both banks into the mid pipe, and it bolts in without cutting or welding. The spun body is built from 16 gauge 409 stainless steel tubing with 308 stainless steel MIG welds over a ceramic substrate, measuring 42 in overall with flange inlet and outlet connections and no oxygen sensor ports. OE sized barbed 410 stainless steel hangers, two crush ring gaskets, a flange gasket, and two bolts are included. This converter is built to Federal EPA standards and is not legal for sale or installation in California, Colorado, or New York.
