Product Details

Magnaflow is well-known for making exhaust components that flow well and last a long time. This direct-fit catalytic converter is built specifically for your 1996 or 1997 Lexus SC300 with the 3.0L engine. It's designed to replace your original converter, helping to keep your check engine light off and ensure your exhaust emissions meet legal standards, especially in California and other CARB-restricted states.

This converter uses free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing made from strong 409 stainless steel, which resists corrosion and should give you a long service life. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during development to make sure this part fits just like the factory original, so you can expect a straightforward installation without needing to cut or weld. The single laser fusion weld on the spun body design helps prevent exhaust leaks, and its compact size allows for good thermal efficiency. You'll also get the necessary gaskets included to help ensure a proper seal during installation.

This converter is CARB compliant, meaning it has undergone extra testing to meet California Air Resource Board requirements. It's designed to interchange with your original equipment part numbers, making it a reliable replacement option.
