Review on MagnaFlow 452016 Catalytic Converter Compliant by Carlito Tardy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Get ready for a LOT of work and MODIFICATION.

This product is listed as fitting BUT please note that it does not! First, you lose all your ability to bolt on an OEM heat shield. Second, this manifold has a smaller ID on the bottom flange, so the intake end must be modified by grinding 1/4" of the stock. Third, unless you sacrifice the front exhaust bracket and bottom, the manifold will not line up and secure, which bolts to the transmission case. rattles and vibrates until the metal heats up and expands. I was helped at a muffler shop by modifying the downpipe to allow more clearance and to add a brace. That's what the aftermarket world has turned to .Final tip: don't use the pads that come with it.

Pros
  • Catalytic Converters
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish
