Product Details

Starting with its highly corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, the Magnaflow 457000 Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter is built to last. This converter is specifically designed to keep your check engine light off and ensure your 2003 Hyundai Elantra or 2003-2006 Hyundai Tiburon meets California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, making it legal for use in California and other CARB-restricted states.

Magnaflow uses advanced 3D scanning during their research and development to ensure this converter fits and functions just like the original equipment. The spun body design replicates the OE look and feel, and a single laser fusion weld significantly reduces the chance of exhaust leaks. Its compact, low-mass design also helps with thermal efficiency. The free-flowing, mandrel-bent tubing is designed to maintain factory performance and fuel efficiency, while the 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing offers exceptional resistance to corrosion for a long service life.

Installation is made simpler because this is a direct-fit unit, meaning no cutting or welding is required – just use the proper tools and the included gaskets for a proper seal. This converter interchanges with OE parts like 28610-2C350 and 28610-2D350, giving you confidence in its compatibility.
