Product Details

The single laser fusion weld on this Magnaflow catalytic converter is designed to significantly reduce the chance of leaks, a common issue with exhaust components. This converter is built specifically for the 1998-2000 Kia Sportage with the 2.0L engine, replicating the original equipment design to ensure it fits right and functions as expected. Its compact, low-mass construction also helps with thermal efficiency, meaning it gets up to operating temperature quickly to do its job of cleaning up exhaust gases.

You'll find the tubing is made from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for resisting corrosion and ensuring a long service life, especially in areas where road salt is used. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure the flow dynamics closely match the factory setup, helping to maintain your Sportage's original performance and fuel efficiency. This direct-fit converter means no cutting or welding is needed for installation, simplifying the job for you. It's also designed to meet Federal emissions requirements set forth by the EPA, making it a compliant replacement for OBDII Federally registered vehicles.

When you get this converter, you'll find the necessary hardware included to make the installation smoother. This includes three bolts, two flange gaskets, and three nuts, so you have the essential pieces to get it bolted up. Just remember, this converter is EPA-compliant but not CARB approved, so it cannot be shipped to California.
