What makes this catalytic converter CARB compliant?

This Magnaflow catalytic converter has undergone additional testing to comply with California Air Resource Board (CARB) guidelines. This ensures it meets or exceeds the strict emissions standards required for legal use in California and other CARB-restricted states.

Does this converter come with everything needed for installation?

Yes, this direct-fit catalytic converter includes the necessary gaskets and hardware. This helps ensure a proper seal and avoids the need to reuse potentially corroded factory parts during installation.

How does the construction of this converter contribute to its performance and longevity?

The converter uses strong 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing for excellent corrosion resistance, which helps it last longer. The free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing design also helps maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency, while the single laser fusion weld minimizes leak possibilities.

About this part

Product Details

If your 2005 or 2006 Audi A8 Quattro is showing a check engine light related to emissions, it might be time to replace the catalytic converter. This direct-fit converter from Magnaflow is designed specifically for your car, ensuring it functions like the original equipment and helps keep that light off.

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 replicate the original equipment's spun body design, using a single laser fusion weld to greatly reduce the chance of leaks. The compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency. Because it's a direct-fit part, installation is straightforward, with no cutting or welding needed, and it comes with the necessary gaskets and hardware to avoid reusing old, corroded factory parts.

This converter is CARB compliant, meaning it meets California Air Resource Board requirements and is legal for use in California and other states with similar emissions regulations. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this part fits and performs just like the factory original.
