Product Details

If you're working on your 1985-1987 Subaru Standard or 1986-1987 Subaru GL with the 1.6L engine, this Magnaflow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is what you need to keep your emissions system in check. This converter is specifically designed to meet California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, meaning it's legal for use in California and other states with strict emissions standards. It's built to function just like the original equipment, helping to ensure your check engine light stays off and your vehicle passes inspection.

What sets this converter apart is its construction and design. It uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing, which means the inside diameter stays consistent throughout, allowing exhaust gases to flow smoothly without restriction. The tubing is made from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel, giving it excellent resistance to corrosion and a long service life. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure a precise fit, and the single laser fusion weld is designed to minimize the chance of leaks. The compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency.

Installation is made straightforward because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required – it bolts right up to your existing exhaust system. Essential gaskets and hardware are included in the box to help simplify the installation process. This is a well-built replacement part designed to meet or exceed CARB requirements, giving you confidence that it will perform correctly and legally.
