Magnaflow 13-14 Mercedes-Benz GL450 4.6L Direct Fit Converter

Magnaflow is well-known for their performance exhaust systems, and they bring that same attention to detail to their direct-fit catalytic converters. This 5551486 converter is built to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle runs cleanly, especially in states with strict emissions standards like California. It's designed to fit a range of Mercedes-Benz models, including the 2013-2014 GL450, 2013-2016 GL550, and 2012-2015 ML63 AMG, among others.

What sets this converter apart is its construction and design. It features free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing that helps maintain smooth exhaust flow for optimal performance and fuel economy, much like the original equipment. The tubing is made from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and ensures a long service life. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this converter fits precisely and functions like the factory part. The OE-style spun body design is replicated, and a single laser fusion weld is used to significantly reduce the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also contributes to greater thermal efficiency.

This converter is specifically designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements. It has undergone additional testing to comply with CARB guidelines, making it legal for use in California and other CARB-restricted states for the listed vehicles. Installation is made simpler because essential gaskets and hardware are included in the box, and the direct-fit design means no cutting or welding is required, allowing for a straightforward installation with the proper tools.
