- Is the MagnaFlow 93496 legal in California?
- No. It is a federal EPA converter, not CARB-exempt, so it cannot be sold or installed in California or other states that require CARB-legal parts. Check your state's rules first.
- Does it fit my car?
- Fitment is vehicle-specific. MagnaFlow lists the exact years, makes, models and engine sizes for part 93496, so match your vehicle against that list before ordering.
- Do I need to weld it?
- No. It is a direct-fit unit that bolts to the factory exhaust flanges. You will reuse or replace the original bolts, and a gasket is included.
- Will it fix a P0420 check-engine code?
- If the code comes from a failed or clogged converter, a new one usually clears it. Have the code diagnosed first, since oxygen sensors and exhaust leaks can trigger the same code.
- What is in the box?
- The catalytic converter and a gasket. Mounting bolts and studs are not included, so plan on new hardware if the originals are rusted.
- How is it different from a universal converter?
- A universal converter needs cutting, welding and custom pipe work. This one bolts to the stock flanges, which saves labor but costs more and only fits listed vehicles.
