Our take on the MagnaFlow Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter

A bolt-on replacement catalytic converter for 1996-2000 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee models with the 5.9L AMC V-8. It uses a spun stainless steel body, a ceramic HM-grade catalyst and 2.5-inch clamp-on inlet and outlet, so it installs with basic hand tools instead of welding. It is federal/EPA compliant but not legal for sale or use in California. Against universal-fit converters, the direct-fit shape and included oxygen sensor port save fabrication time; against OE parts, the stainless body and 16-gauge wall resist rust better. Owners mainly report that it fits and works as expected.
