MagnaFlow Conv DF 96-00 Ford Contour 2.5L / 99-02 Mercury Cougar 2.5L California - Front

Magnaflow is known for making well-built exhaust components that improve flow and sound. This direct-fit catalytic converter, part number 452002, is designed specifically for your 1996-2000 Ford Contour or 1999-2000 Mercury Cougar with the 2.5L engine, and it's built to meet California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements. If you're in California or another state with strict emissions standards, this converter is essential for keeping your check engine light off and ensuring your vehicle passes inspection.

This converter uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing to help maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency, and it's constructed from highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel for a long service life. Magnaflow uses 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure a precise fit, just like the original equipment. The spun body design replicates the OE style, and a single laser fusion weld greatly reduces the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency. Installation is straightforward as it's designed as a direct fit, meaning no cutting or welding is required, and it includes the necessary gaskets for a proper seal.

This converter is also compatible with the Mercury Mystique from 1996-2000. It interchanges with the OE part number F5RZ-5G232-BA. Make sure you have the proper tools for installation, and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.
