Product Details

The single laser fusion weld on this MagnaFlow catalytic converter is a notable detail, greatly reducing the chance of exhaust leaks. This converter is built with a compact, low-mass design that helps achieve greater thermal efficiency, and it's constructed from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel tubing. MagnaFlow uses the latest 3D scanning systems in their R&D process to ensure this part fits and functions just like the original equipment on your Volkswagen CC, Beetle, Jetta, or Passat.

You can expect an easier installation because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required. It replicates the OE spun body design, and the mandrel-bent tubing helps maintain the original exhaust flow dynamics. This converter is designed to meet or exceed Federal emissions requirements set forth by the EPA, keeping your check engine light off for OBDII Federally registered vehicles. It includes a Torca clamp for a secure connection.

This converter is designed for vehicles with Federal/EPA emission systems. Please note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper tool requirements and procedures.
