Magnaflow 96-04 Acura RL 3.5L Direct Fit Converter

This Magnaflow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is what you get when you need to replace the original on your 1996-2004 Acura RL. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your exhaust system is compliant with California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, which is important for legal use in California and other restricted states. You'll receive the converter itself, along with the necessary flange gaskets to help ensure a leak-free seal during installation.

Magnaflow builds this converter with a free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing design inside a spun body, which replicates the original equipment's shape and helps with thermal efficiency. The construction uses strong 16-gauge 409 stainless steel for the tubing, offering good resistance to corrosion and a long service life. The welds are durable 308 stainless steel MIG welds, and the single laser fusion weld on the body is designed to greatly reduce the chance of leaks. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure this converter fits and functions just like the factory part.

Because this is a direct-fit unit, installation is made simpler as it's designed to bolt right up to your existing exhaust system without needing any cutting or welding. Just be sure to have the proper tools on hand for the job. This converter is specifically built to meet or exceed CARB requirements, so you can be confident it's a legal and effective replacement for your Acura RL.
