no direct equivalent: exhaust and emissions

This product does not fit directly, bought and serviced then received and installed only to find the brackets are not in the same place had to adjust the pipe to fit.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Toyota Previa Catalytic Converter

This Magnaflow Catalytic Converter is listed as a direct replacement for the Toyota Previa minivan - it is not. Except for the front hanger, it is cut straight. The original Toyota Previa converter has a welded metal bracket at the front that plugs into the rubber chassis mount. The Magnaflow device has a pair of metal tabs with holes. They cannot be attached to the rubber suspension without additional hardware that Magnaflow does not supply. I think they expect you to find your own hanger…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Appearance

It fits almost perfectly

I replaced the cat converter on my 1991 Previa LE because my original O2 sensor connections were rusty. At 340,000 miles I still had the entire stock exhaust system and loosening the old rusty bolts was a hassle for a home mechanic like me. I wish the screws were included because it was difficult and cheap to find an exact replacement. Like other reviewers, the rear suspension mount was missing and had to be done - a waste of time. It worked fine once, but then unfortunately the front 4-pipe…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Nothing

Bad design, bad fit.

This part seems to be designed to fail. The fabric on the inside of the flexible joint is simply frayed, creating unnecessary restrictions. Doesn't appear to have been cut properly. The front flange does not seat properly because the tubes that stick out to find the gaskets are too big for the gaskets and stick out too far. They must be hand sanded to get a proper seal. It just seems like this one was outsourced to the cheapest company and MagnaFlow put its name on it. I wouldn't buy any other…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Without machine gun

Great way to fix an exhaust leak on my 1992 Toyota Previa

I bought this MagnaFlow Direct Fit catalytic converter for my 1992 Toyota Previa LE. The original exhaust flexible pipe failed and there was a massive exhaust leak. The noise was frustrating to deal with, but to make matters worse, the exhaust fumes made their way into the cabin. I could replace the flexible pipe by cutting and welding it on. But the offers I got were for a cut and the welds were enough to make me move to the MagnaFlow straight-fit option. The MagnaFlow package had pretty much…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Almost never

Good fit, functionality and not too complicated to install.

Fits easily on a 1992 Toyota Previa, unlike other vintage exhaust systems (e.g. screws on the muffler pipe had to be cut off). My old suspension (a 2000 OEM replacement) wasn't welded, it was attached with badly rusted bolts to a one-piece bracket that was welded to the tube. They had to be snapped off and replaced with hardware store screws, washers and nuts for two separate mounts on the Magnaflow. The front and rear pipes are well aligned. The two brackets that attach to the clothes rail…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some difficulties
