MagnaFlow Conv DF 99-01 Ford Explor 5.0L

When your 1999 or 2001 Ford Explorer 5.0L needs a new catalytic converter, especially if you're in California or another CARB-restricted state, this direct-fit unit from Magnaflow is a solid choice. It's designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your exhaust system is compliant with strict emissions standards. You'll get the converter itself, along with the essential gaskets and hardware needed for installation, making the job straightforward without needing to cut or weld any pipes.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing, which helps maintain smooth exhaust flow for optimal performance and fuel economy. The entire unit is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, specifically 409 stainless steel for the tubing and 308 stainless steel for the welds, so it's built to last. They use 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 also designed to minimize the chance of leaks, and its compact, low-mass design helps with thermal efficiency.

This converter is specifically engineered to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, and has undergone additional testing to ensure its legality in California and other states with similar emissions regulations. It's a direct replacement for OE part number XL2Z-5E212-AB.
