Magnaflow 16-17 Ford Explorer 2.3L Direct Fit Converter

If your 2016 or 2017 Ford Explorer 2.3L is showing a check engine light related to emissions, it might be time to replace the catalytic converter. This direct-fit converter from Magnaflow is designed to get your Explorer back to running cleanly and legally, especially in California and other CARB-restricted states. It's built to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board requirements, so you can be confident it's compliant.

Magnaflow uses 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing for this converter, which offers solid corrosion resistance for a long service life. The internal design replicates the original equipment's flow dynamics to maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency. They use 3D scanning during development to ensure it fits just like the factory part, and the single laser fusion weld is designed to reduce the chance of leaks. The compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency.

Installation is made easier because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is needed. Magnaflow includes the necessary nuts, bolts, gaskets, and washers to help ensure a proper seal and avoid reusing old, corroded hardware. This makes the job more straightforward, even if you're doing it yourself with the right tools.
