About this part

Product Details

The single laser fusion weld on this Magnaflow catalytic converter is a notable detail, designed to greatly reduce the possibility of exhaust leaks. This is crucial for keeping your check engine light off and ensuring your vehicle runs cleanly. It's built with high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing, which offers solid corrosion resistance for a long service life, and the OE-sized barbed exhaust hangers are also made from corrosion-resistant 410 stainless steel to help reduce noise and vibration.

Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this converter fits and functions just like the original equipment. The free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing is designed to maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency, while the compact, low-mass design allows for greater thermal efficiency. This converter is specifically designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, making it legal for use in California and other CARB-restricted states for your 2001-2003 Volkswagen Jetta, Beetle, or Golf 2.0L.

Installation is made simpler because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required, and it comes with the essential gaskets needed for a proper seal. It also interchanges with several original equipment part numbers, including 1J0 254 508 G and 1J0 254 509 AX.
