Magnaflow 5451711 California CARB Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter

The MagnaFlow 5451711 is a California CARB-compliant direct-fit catalytic converter engineered as a precise OEM-style replacement. Constructed from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, this converter is built for exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term durability. MagnaFlow's state-of-the-art metrology department utilizes advanced 3D scanning technology during research and development to ensure accurate fitment and factory-matching performance straight out of the box.

The spun body design features a single laser fusion weld that significantly reduces the risk of exhaust leaks, while the compact, low-mass construction promotes superior thermal efficiency. Free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing minimizes exhaust backpressure, helping to maintain engine efficiency and fuel economy. This replacement catalytic converter is designed to meet or exceed California Air Resources Board (CARB) requirements and has undergone additional testing to confirm legal compliance in California and all other CARB-restricted states.

Key Features:

• CARB Compliant — Meets or exceeds California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions standards; legal for use in California and CARB-restricted states
• Direct-Fit Design — Bolt-on installation with no cutting, welding, or modifications required
• OE Spun Body Construction — Replicates original equipment design with single laser fusion weld to minimize leak potential
• 16-Gauge 409 Stainless Steel — High-strength construction for exceptional corrosion resistance and extended service life
• Mandrel-Bent Tubing — Free-flowing design reduces backpressure and supports factory-level exhaust flow dynamics
