Magnaflow 13-17 Ford Escape 2.0L Direct Fit Converter

A 16-gauge 409 stainless steel body and mandrel-bent tubing form the foundation of this direct-fit catalytic converter for the 2013-2016 Ford Escape 2.0L. MagnaFlow part 5551253 replicates the OE exhaust geometry using 3D scanning during development, so the pipe routing and flange positions line up with the factory mounting points.

The spun body construction uses a single laser fusion weld to reduce the possibility of leaks at the converter shell. At the pipe joints, 308 stainless steel MIG welds provide solid connections that hold up to constant thermal cycling. Corrosion-resistant 410 stainless steel barbed exhaust hangers help reduce noise and vibration transmitted into the vehicle cabin -- a detail that matters on a compact crossover where exhaust drone is more noticeable.

MagnaFlow includes two bolts and one flange gasket in the box, so you can make a clean connection without reusing corroded factory hardware. Installation requires no cutting or welding. This converter is CARB compliant and legal in all 50 states. Confirm that your Escape's Executive Order number and Engine Family Number match this converter's CARB EO.
