About this part

Product Details

Starting with a highly corrosion resistant stainless steel construction, this Magnaflow direct-fit catalytic converter is built to last on your 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton 4.2L. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle meets strict emissions standards, especially in California and other CARB-restricted states. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure this converter fits and functions just like the original equipment.

The free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing helps maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency, while the compact, low-mass design allows for greater thermal efficiency. By replicating the original equipment's spun body design, the single laser fusion weld significantly reduces the chance of leaks. This converter is specifically engineered to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board requirements, making it a legal and reliable replacement part.

Installation is made simpler because this converter is a direct fit, meaning no cutting or welding is required. You'll also find essential gaskets and hardware included in the box to help you get the job done with the proper tools. This part interchanges with OE parts 3D0 254 201 DX and 3D0 254 200 NX.
