Product Details

If you're working on a 2001 or 2002 Kia Rio and need to replace the catalytic converter, this direct-fit unit from Magnaflow is a solid option. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle meets federal emissions standards set by the EPA. This is important for passing emissions tests and keeping your car running cleanly.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing made from strong 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, which helps it resist corrosion and last a long time. They use advanced 3D scanning during their research to make sure this converter fits just like the original equipment. The design replicates the OE spun body, and a single laser fusion weld is used to greatly reduce the chance of leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency.

Installation is made easier because this converter is a direct fit, meaning no cutting or welding is required if you have the proper tools. Magnaflow includes the necessary gaskets and hardware, so you won't have to reuse old, corroded factory parts. This converter is designed to meet or exceed federal emissions requirements for OBDII vehicles with federal/EPA emission systems.
