MagnaFlow Conv DF Explorer-Mountaineer 96-98

The stainless steel construction on this MagnaFlow catalytic converter is a key detail, offering strong resistance to corrosion and a longer service life. This direct-fit unit is built to keep your 1996-1998 Ford Explorer or 1997-1998 Mercury Mountaineer running cleanly and efficiently, ensuring your check engine light stays off by meeting Federal/EPA emissions requirements for OBDII vehicles.

MagnaFlow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to make sure this converter matches the original equipment in both fit and function. The tubing is mandrel-bent to maintain consistent diameter and eliminate flow restrictions, which helps preserve factory performance and fuel economy. A single laser fusion weld is used to minimize the chance of exhaust leaks, and the compact design contributes to better thermal efficiency. Installation is made straightforward because it's designed as a direct-fit replacement, meaning no cutting or welding is needed, and it includes a flange gasket to help you achieve a proper seal.

This converter is designed to meet or exceed EPA emissions standards for Federally registered vehicles. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. You'll also want to have the proper tools on hand for installation, as it's a DIY-friendly job without the need for specialized welding equipment.
