Product Details

If your 2001 or 2002 Mercury Cougar is showing a check engine light related to emissions, it's likely time to replace the catalytic converter. This direct-fit unit from Magnaflow is built to meet Federal EPA emissions standards, helping you pass inspections and keep your car running cleanly. It's designed to replace your original converter without any cutting or welding, making the installation process much simpler.

Magnaflow uses highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel for the tubing and body, ensuring this converter stands up to road conditions and lasts for a long time. They've also paid close attention to the internal design, replicating the original equipment's flow dynamics to maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency. The compact, low-mass design contributes to greater thermal efficiency, and the single laser fusion weld is designed to greatly reduce the possibility of exhaust leaks, especially when paired with the included gaskets for a proper seal.

This converter is specifically engineered for the 2.5L engine in your 2001-2002 Mercury Cougar and interchanges with the OE part number 1S8Z-5G232-DA. While it meets federal emissions requirements, please note that it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
