Product Details

Starting with its highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, this MagnaFlow direct-fit catalytic converter is built to last. It's designed specifically for your 1996-1998 Hyundai Elantra, ensuring it functions like the original equipment and helps keep that check engine light off. The free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing is key here, as it maintains factory performance and fuel efficiency without restricting exhaust flow.

MagnaFlow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure this converter fits right, just like the OE part. The spun body design, replicated from the original, is sealed with a single laser fusion weld. This method significantly reduces the chance of leaks, and the compact, low-mass design helps with thermal efficiency. Installation is made simpler because it's a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required if you have the proper tools.

This converter meets Federal emissions requirements set by the EPA for OBDII vehicles with Federal/EPA emission systems. It's a well-built replacement that's designed to meet or exceed those legal standards.
