MagnaFlow Conv Direct Fit 98-01 Honda Prelude 2.2L

If your 1996-2001 Honda Prelude is showing a check engine light related to emissions, or if you're replacing a damaged or rusted catalytic converter, this Magnaflow Direct-Fit unit is a solid choice. It's built to keep your car running cleanly and legally, especially if you're in California or another state with strict emissions standards. This converter is designed to meet or exceed California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements, meaning it's undergone extra testing to ensure it performs as expected and is legal for use in those areas.

Magnaflow uses high-strength 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing for the construction, which is known for resisting corrosion and lasting a long time. The converter body itself is designed to replicate the original equipment's spun body style, and it's sealed with a single laser fusion weld. This method greatly reduces the chance of exhaust leaks, and the compact, low-mass design helps with thermal efficiency. Because it's a direct-fit unit, it's made using 3D scanning data to ensure it matches the original equipment's placement and connection points, so you won't need to cut or weld anything during installation. You'll also get the necessary gaskets included to help ensure a proper seal.

This Magnaflow converter is specifically designed for the 1996-2001 Honda Prelude with the 2.2L engine, and it also fits the 2.3L model from 1996. It replaces OE part number 18160-P5M-A00. Having the correct gaskets included makes the installation process smoother, helping you avoid exhaust leaks and get your Prelude back on the road with its emissions system functioning correctly.
