Product Details

MagnaFlow is known for making exhaust components that flow well and last. This Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is a prime example, designed specifically to keep your 1996-1999 Ford Taurus 3.0L running cleanly and legally, especially in California and other emissions-restricted states. It's built to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, meaning it's a solid choice for keeping that check engine light off and ensuring your exhaust system is compliant.

What sets this converter apart is its direct-fit design, meaning it's made to bolt right up to your existing exhaust system without any cutting or welding. MagnaFlow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure the fit and function are just like the original equipment. The tubing is mandrel-bent to maintain smooth exhaust flow, which helps with both performance and fuel economy. Plus, the construction uses high-strength 409 stainless steel for the tubing and 308 stainless steel for the welds, giving you excellent resistance to corrosion and a long service life. The single laser fusion weld is also designed to greatly reduce the chance of leaks.

When you're installing this, you can expect a straightforward process, as it's designed to replicate the OE geometry. It also comes with essential gaskets and hardware to simplify the installation. This converter is a reliable way to replace a failing unit and ensure your Taurus continues to meet emissions standards.
