MagnaFlow Conv DF 98 Mazda Protege Front

If you're working on a 1995 through 1998 Mazda Protege and need to replace the catalytic converter, this Magnaflow direct-fit unit is a solid option. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your vehicle meets federal emissions standards set by the EPA. This is important for keeping your car running cleanly and legally, especially on OBDII vehicles registered in federally compliant states.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and uses highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel for the body and welds, meaning it should hold up well over time. They've paid close attention to replicating the original equipment's design, including the spun body style and a single laser fusion weld. This approach helps reduce the chance of exhaust leaks and allows for good thermal efficiency. Because it's a direct-fit part, installation is made simpler as it bolts right up to your existing exhaust system without needing any cutting or welding, and it comes with the necessary gaskets to ensure a proper seal.

This converter is specifically made for the 1.5L engine in your Protege and is designed to interchange with original parts like B6GD-20-500C and Z502-20-500. Just remember that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
