Magnaflow Conv DF 01-02 Cougar 2.5L Front

This Magnaflow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is what you get when you need to replace the original converter on your 2001 or 2002 Mercury Cougar with the 2.5L engine. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your exhaust system is compliant with California Air Resource Board (CARB) regulations, making it legal for use in California and other restricted states. You'll receive the converter itself, along with the necessary flange gasket to help prevent exhaust leaks during installation.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing made from strong 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and should last a long time. They use advanced 3D scanning during development to make sure it fits and functions just like the factory part. The design replicates the original spun body style, and a single laser fusion weld is used to greatly reduce the chance of leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps it reach optimal operating temperature efficiently.

Because this is a direct-fit unit, it's designed to install without any cutting or welding, making the job much simpler if you have the right tools. Magnaflow has also put this converter through extra testing to meet CARB guidelines, so you can be confident it's a legitimate replacement for your Cougar.
