Magnaflow 51143 Features:
Keep the check engine light off with MagnaFlow OEM Grade Federal/EPA Compliant Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 51143. With features including free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing and highly corrosion resistant stainless steel construction, easily install this spun body converter yourself using the proper tools, no cutting or welding required. MagnaFlow's state-of-the-art metrology department uses the latest 3D scanning systems during research and development, so you can be confident that your new part will fit and function like the original equipment. By replicating the OE spun body design, the single laser fusion weld greatly reduces the possibility of a leak, and our compact, low-mass design also allows for greater thermal efficiency. Designed to fit the 2007-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and 2007-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, this direct-fit catalytic converter also interchanges with OE part 079 253 020 HX. The included gaskets & hardware reduce the possibility of a leaking seal while avoiding the need to reuse corroded factory parts for installation. This replacement part is designed to meet or exceed Federal emissions requirements set forth by the EPA, complying with legal standards for OBDII Federally registered vehicles with California or Federal/EPA Emission systems.
Magnaflow Manifold Catalytic Converters
Similar to direct-fit converters that bolt directly into a vehicle's exhaust line, manifold catalytic converters are integrated into a vehicle's exhaust manifold, a component that collects exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into a single pipe. Because of their specialized design and fitment for specific vehicle models, manifold converters are typically more expensive than direct-fit or universal converters. In terms of installation, this type of converter requires the entire exhaust manifold to be removed and replaced.
