MagnaFlow Conv DF 99-03 Beetle/Golf 2.0L

When your check engine light comes on and you suspect it's the catalytic converter, you're looking at a direct-fit replacement from Magnaflow. This unit is designed to keep your 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 1999-2005 Beetle, or 1999-2005 Jetta compliant with Federal emissions standards. It's built to meet or exceed EPA requirements for OBDII Federally registered vehicles, including those with California or Federal/EPA emission systems. You'll get the converter itself, along with an essential flange gasket to help ensure a proper seal and avoid exhaust leaks right out of the box.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing and a spun body design that replicates the original equipment. This construction helps maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency. The tubing is made from high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, and the compact, low-mass design allows for greater thermal efficiency. A single laser fusion weld is used to join the body, which greatly reduces the chance of leaks. The hangers are OE-sized and made from corrosion-resistant 410 stainless steel, and the welds are durable 308 stainless steel MIG welds.

Because this is a direct-fit unit, installation is made simpler as no cutting or welding is required, assuming you have the proper tools. Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure the part fits and functions like the original equipment. This converter interchanges with several OE part numbers, including 1J0 254 508 G and 1J0 254 509 AX.
