Product Details

When it's time to replace the catalytic converter on your 2003 or 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230, MagnaFlow's Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter (part number 452344) is a solid option. This unit is specifically designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your exhaust system is compliant with California's strict emissions standards, making it legal for use in California and other CARB-restricted states. You'll receive the converter itself, along with essential gaskets and hardware like nuts and split lock washers, so you have what you need for a proper installation without needing to cut or weld.

MagnaFlow builds this converter using free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel, specifically 16-gauge 409 stainless steel for the tubing and 308 stainless steel for the MIG welds. This construction means it's built to last and resist rust. They use advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this converter fits and functions just like the original equipment. The design replicates the OE spun body style, and a single laser fusion weld is used to greatly reduce the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency.
