MagnaFlow California Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 97-99 Acura CL V6 3.0L

If you're working on a 1997-2003 Acura CL with the 3.0L V6 engine and need to replace the catalytic converter, this MagnaFlow California Grade CARB Compliant Direct-Fit unit is a solid choice. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle meets emissions standards, especially in California and other CARB-restricted states. Because it's a direct-fit part, it's made to bolt right up to your existing exhaust system, meaning no cutting or welding is required for installation, which can save you a lot of time and hassle in the shop.

MagnaFlow builds these converters with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and uses highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel for the construction, aiming for a long service life. They use advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure the converter fits and functions just like the original equipment. The design replicates the OE spun body style, and the single laser fusion weld helps prevent leaks. This compact, low-mass design also contributes to better thermal efficiency.

This converter comes with the necessary gaskets, including a crush ring gasket and a flange gasket, along with an O2 port plug, to help you get a proper seal during installation. It's designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board requirements and has passed additional testing for legal use in those states.
