Does this fit the regular Audi A3 or only the Quattro?

This converter is listed for the 2006-2009 Audi A3 Quattro with the 3.2L engine. The Quattro models have the all-wheel-drive system and 3.2L VR6 that this converter is designed for.

What VW/Audi OE part numbers does this replace?

MagnaFlow 5461873 interchanges with 1K0 254 504 RX and 1K0 254 507 DX. If your dealer or independent shop quotes either part number, this is the direct replacement.

Will this work on my 2008 Volkswagen R32?

Yes. The 2008 VW R32 shares the 3.2L VR6 engine and exhaust configuration with the A3 Quattro on the MkV platform. This converter fits both vehicles.

Is this legal in California?

Yes. This converter meets California Air Resources Board standards and is legal for installation in all 50 states. Confirm your vehicle's Executive Order number and Engine Family Number match first.

Product Details

VAG platform vehicles like the Audi A3 Quattro and Volkswagen R32 share more than just a chassis, and when it comes to catalytic converter replacement, MagnaFlow 5461873 covers both. This CARB-compliant direct-fit converter fits the 2006-2009 Audi A3 Quattro 3.2L and the 2008 Volkswagen R32 3.2L.

Shared Platform, Shared Solution

The A3 Quattro and R32 share the same 3.2L VR6 engine and exhaust routing on the MkV platform. MagnaFlow developed this converter using 3D scanning to match the factory geometry, and it interchanges with VW/Audi OE part numbers 1K0 254 504 RX and 1K0 254 507 DX. It bolts directly in without cutting, welding, or modifications.

Durability Where It Counts

The converter body uses 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing with 308 stainless steel MIG welds. OE-sized barbed exhaust hangers in 410 stainless steel reduce noise and vibration. The spun body design with a single laser fusion weld keeps the seam tight, and mandrel-bent tubing ensures the exhaust flow stays smooth through every bend.

All 50 States Legal

CARB-compliant and legal for sale and installation nationwide, including California, Colorado, New York, and Maine. Verify your vehicle's Executive Order and Engine Family Number against the converter's CARB Executive Order.

Whether you drive an A3 Quattro or one of the sought-after R32s, this MagnaFlow converter keeps your VR6 emissions-legal with a bolt-on fit and stainless steel build.
