Product Details

If your 1996-1998 Ford Explorer or 1997-1998 Mercury Mountaineer 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 built to meet Federal EPA standards, helping you pass emissions tests and keep that light off. It’s designed to function just like the original equipment, ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently.

Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their design process to make sure this converter fits right and performs as expected. The tubing is mandrel-bent to maintain consistent flow, and the whole unit is constructed from stainless steel for solid corrosion resistance, meaning it should last a long time. The single laser fusion weld is designed to prevent leaks, and its compact, low-mass design helps with thermal efficiency. Installation is straightforward because it’s a direct-fit part, meaning no cutting or welding is needed, and it comes with the necessary gaskets and hardware to get the job done right.

This converter interchanges with OE part numbers F67Z-5E212-AA and F67Z-5E213-BB. Please note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It is designed for vehicles with Federal/EPA emission systems.
