Magnaflow Conv DF 97-01 Honda Prelude 2.2L (49 State)

When it's time to replace the catalytic converter on your 1996-2001 Honda Prelude, Magnaflow's Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 51841 is a solid option. This unit is designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle meets federal emissions requirements. It's built to be a direct replacement, meaning no cutting or welding is needed for installation, making the job much simpler with the right tools.

What you get in the box are the essential components for a proper installation: the converter itself, a flange gasket, and a crush ring gasket. The converter is constructed with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and features a spun body design, similar to the original equipment. This construction, along with a single laser fusion weld, helps reduce the chance of exhaust leaks. The materials used, including 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing and 308 stainless steel MIG welds, are chosen for their corrosion resistance and durability, aiming for a long service life. Magnaflow uses advanced scanning technology during development to ensure this converter fits and functions like the original part, maintaining factory performance and efficiency.

It's important to note that this converter is EPA compliant and suitable for federal emissions systems, but it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. This part interchanges with OE part number 18160-P5M-A00.
