Will this fit my 1994 Ford F-150?

It can if your exhaust is 2 inches at the converter and the engine is 5.9L or smaller. It is universal, so you cut and weld it in place rather than bolting it on.

Does it have an oxygen sensor port?

No. It has no sensor port, so it suits pre-OBDII vehicles (1995 and older) that don't need a downstream sensor.

Is it legal in California?

No. It is EPA-compliant for federal emissions, not CARB-approved for California.

The converter only. No gaskets, clamps or hardware are included, so plan on welding and buying what you need separately.

Can I install it myself?

Only if you can cut and weld exhaust pipe. The slip-fit ends help alignment, but the body is weld-on.

Is it better than a direct-fit converter?

A direct-fit unit bolts on with less work and includes the right flanges and sensor port. This one is cheaper and more universal but needs fabrication.

Our take on the Walker Exhaust 15051 Standard EPA Universal Catalytic Converter

The Walker 15051 is a universal-fit catalytic converter for pre-OBDII vehicles (1995 and older) up to 5.9L engines. It uses a ceramic 2-way/3-way substrate in a stainless-steel body with 2-inch slip-fit inlet and outlet, and it carries EPA compliance for emissions. It is a weld-on part with no sensor port and no hardware, so installation means cutting, fitting and welding. It suits owners of older Fords, Chevrolets and Dodges who need a compliant replacement and can do fabrication work; unlike direct-fit converters, it is not a bolt-on and needs the right size and welding skill.
