Magnaflow 2006 Volkswagen Passat 3.6L Direct Fit Converter

MagnaFlow designed this direct-fit catalytic converter specifically for the 2006 Volkswagen Passat 3.6L. It interchanges with OE parts 3C0 254 502 TX, 3C0 254 503 PX, and 3C0 254 504 BX, so you can cross-reference your factory part number to confirm the match before ordering.

The mandrel-bent 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing replicates the OEM exhaust geometry, developed through MagnaFlow's 3D scanning process. The spun body construction and single laser fusion weld keep things sealed tight, with 308 stainless steel MIG welds at all joints. The OE-sized barbed exhaust hangers are made from 410 stainless steel to reduce noise and vibration, and the precision-stamped collector design helps maintain consistent exhaust flow.

What sets this kit apart is the included hardware. MagnaFlow packs in 2 flange gaskets and 4 Torca AccuSeal clamps, giving you fresh sealing surfaces and even clamping force all around. That means no reusing corroded factory gaskets and no sourcing separate hardware. The Torca clamps provide full 360-degree distributed clamping force to prevent pipe distortion during install.

This converter is CARB compliant and legal in all 50 states, including California. No cutting or welding is needed. Verify that your Passat's Executive Order number and Engine Family Number match this converter's CARB Executive Order before installing.
