MagnaFlow Conv DF 97-00 Ford Vans 4.2L

Magnaflow is known for making exhaust components that perform well and last. This direct-fit catalytic converter, part number 447180, is built to keep your 1997-1999 Ford E-150 Econoline running cleanly and legally, especially in California and other states with strict emissions standards. It's designed to replace your original converter without needing any cutting or welding, making installation much simpler if you've got the right tools.

This converter uses mandrel-bent tubing, which means the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the bends, allowing exhaust gases to flow more freely than with crushed bends. This helps maintain factory performance and fuel economy. The tubing itself is made from high-strength 409 stainless steel, chosen for its ability to resist corrosion and ensure a long service life, even in harsh conditions. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their design process to ensure this converter matches the original equipment's fit and function precisely. The single laser fusion weld is a notable detail, significantly reducing the chance of exhaust leaks, and its compact, low-mass design helps it reach optimal operating temperature efficiently.

This Magnaflow converter is specifically designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements. It has undergone additional testing to ensure it complies with CARB guidelines, making it legal for use in California and other states that follow CARB emissions regulations. Essential gaskets and hardware are included in the box to help simplify the installation process.
