MagnaFlow Conv DF Ford Escort 98-01 2. OEM

This MagnaFlow direct-fit catalytic converter is built with high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing, which means it's going to hold up well against corrosion and last a long time. It's designed specifically for your 1998-2003 Ford Escort with the 2.0L engine, replicating the original equipment's fit and function so you can be confident it'll work right. The goal here is to keep that check engine light off by meeting Federal emissions requirements.

MagnaFlow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this converter matches the factory design. This attention to detail means you get mandrel-bent tubing, which helps maintain smooth exhaust flow without restrictions, and a compact design that's efficient. The single laser fusion weld is also a smart touch, significantly reducing the chance of exhaust leaks. Installation is straightforward because it's a direct-fit part, meaning no cutting or welding is needed, and it comes with the necessary flange and flat ring gaskets to get a good seal.

This converter is EPA-compliant for OBDII Federally registered vehicles, including those with California or Federal/EPA emission systems. It interchanges with the OE part number F8CZ-5E212-LC.
