This is the front Y-pipe converter assembly on a system that carries three converters in total, so it is the upstream unit rather than an underbody replacement. Stainless steel body and tubing over a ceramic substrate, 18.5 inches overall, with flange connections at both ends and two sensor ports for pre and post converter positions. An outlet gasket and a flange gasket are included and it bolts in with no cutting or welding. This is the federal EPA part. MagnaFlow lists it against trucks built with a California emissions system, which describes the vehicle it fits and does not make the converter California legal.
