Product Details

If you're working on a 1996-1998 Volkswagen Golf with the 2.8L engine, this Magnaflow California Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is what you need to get your emissions system back in order. This converter is specifically designed 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 built to function just like the original equipment, ensuring your check engine light stays off and your vehicle runs cleanly.

What sets this converter apart is its construction and design. It uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing made from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, which is really good at resisting corrosion and will last a long time. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure this converter fits perfectly, just like the factory part. The single laser fusion weld is designed to prevent leaks, and its compact, low-mass build helps with thermal efficiency. Plus, it comes with a crush ring gasket and uses durable 308 stainless steel MIG welds for solid connections.

This is a direct-fit converter, meaning no cutting or welding is required for installation, making it a much simpler job for you. It's designed to meet or even exceed California's tough emissions standards, giving you peace of mind that it's compliant. This part interchanges with OE part number 1HM 131 701 HX.
