Product Details

If you're working on a 1997-2002 Ford Escort or a 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer with a 2.0L engine, this direct-fit catalytic converter from Magnaflow is what you need to keep your emissions system in check. It's designed to replace your original converter, helping to ensure your check engine light stays off and your vehicle passes federal emissions tests. This part is built to meet or exceed EPA requirements for OBDII federally registered vehicles.

Magnaflow builds this converter with free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing, which helps maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency by eliminating restrictions. The construction uses 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing for strong corrosion resistance and durability, along with 308 stainless steel MIG welds. They use 3D scanning during development to make sure it fits and functions just like the original equipment, and the single laser fusion weld is designed to greatly reduce the chance of leaks. Because it's a direct-fit design, installation is straightforward with no cutting or welding required, and it includes the necessary gaskets and nuts to get a proper seal.
