Magnaflow California Direct Fit Converter 1996 Ford Escort 1.8L

MagnaFlow is known for making exhaust components that perform well and last. This California Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is built to keep your 1996 Ford Escort running cleanly and legally, especially if you're in California or another state with strict emissions rules. It's designed to replace your original converter without any cutting or welding, making installation much simpler.

This converter uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing to help your exhaust system breathe easier, which is important for maintaining factory performance and fuel economy. The construction is solid, with high-strength 410 stainless steel for the hangers and 16-gauge 409 stainless steel for the tubing itself, offering good resistance to corrosion. MagnaFlow uses advanced 3D scanning to ensure the design matches the original equipment precisely, so it fits right and functions as expected. The single laser fusion weld is designed to prevent leaks, and its compact, low-mass design helps with thermal efficiency.

When you buy this converter, you'll find that it comes with the necessary flange gaskets to help you get the job done. It's been tested and certified to meet California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, so you can be confident it's legal for use in California and other CARB-restricted states for your specific vehicle.
