Hello guys, anyone from you guys have a recommendation? im supposed to replace my catalytic converter, aside from oem part. I saw this magnaflow California legal, any thoughts about it? Thank you.

My only thought is usually those magnaflows need to be welded. Unless you are going to weld it on yourself, you may need to take it to an exhaust shop to weld it on. GL

Hi Jadu, thanks for replying, the guy said from the store..should be a direct fit, no modification needed....but you think magna flow is gonna work just like the oem?

Direct fit is a plus-no welding that's for sure and I'm sure it will work just fine

Jonair

Tnx, appreciate your input, i will review it. So im fixing my catalytic then...its making another problem like p0442 and etc. ?

Jonair

Jadu, the manga flow direct fit exhaust manifold did work just out fine, no check engine so far. Thanks again.

Jonair, did you get the P420 and P430 codes at the same time? I'm having the same issue and don't know what cat would be good for CA standards.

Jonair

Yes, same situation, same codes. I got mine from Hot Exhaust ask for for the magnaflow California compliant, direct bolt on. I got it like for $700 plus something...you can get a coupon in their own site....I was so hesitant getting this product, but it worked for me... No more issues at this moment. I have more than 250 miles since I have the new manifold exhaust. Good luck!

I saw the Magnaflow y pipe and headers for a total of about $1500. Thats a LOT of dough. Pacesetter has the same parts for about $600 total. Ive actually had decent results with pacesetter in the past. Their problem is they surface rust bad, even the coated ones. What ive done in the past is VHT all the pacesetter pipes and have had no problems. Just something to consider
