Magnaflow 98-03 Ford Escort 2.0L Direct Fit Converter

Magnaflow is known for making exhaust components that perform well and last. For your 1998-2003 Ford Escort 2.0L, this Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is built to keep your emissions system in check and your check engine light off. It's designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, meaning it's legal for use in California and other states with strict emissions standards.

This converter features free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing that helps maintain smooth exhaust flow for optimal performance and fuel economy, just like the original equipment. It's constructed from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel, specifically 16-gauge 409 stainless steel for the tubing and 308 stainless steel for the welds, ensuring it stands up to the elements for a long service life. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during development to ensure this converter fits precisely and functions as expected, replicating the OE spun body design with a single laser fusion weld to greatly reduce the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also contributes to better thermal efficiency.

Installation is made simpler because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required – it bolts right up using the proper tools. You'll also find the necessary gaskets included to help ensure a proper seal and prevent exhaust leaks. This converter interchanges with the original Ford part number F8CZ-5L212-LC.
