Product Details

If your 1996 or 1997 Nissan Pathfinder 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 built to meet California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, meaning it's legal for use in California and other states with strict emissions standards. It's designed to keep that check engine light off and ensure your vehicle passes emissions tests.

Magnaflow uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and a spun body design that replicates the original equipment's shape and geometry. This helps maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency while allowing exhaust gases to flow smoothly. The converter is constructed from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and features a single laser fusion weld that greatly reduces the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency. Because it's a direct-fit unit, installation is straightforward, with no cutting or welding required, and it includes the necessary gaskets for a proper seal.

This converter is designed to interchange with specific OE part numbers, ensuring it functions correctly with your vehicle's exhaust system. If you're looking to get your Pathfinder back to running cleanly and efficiently, this CARB-compliant converter is a solid option.
