Car Sound Exhaust System, LLC., the parent company of MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust is a world leader in the manufacturing of automotive catalytic converters. The production and design techniques of our catalytic converters contribute to Car Sound’s standing as the highest quality and best-valued products on the market.
There is no other product that can offer the unique features as Car Sound converters. As a result of this commitment, Car Sound has earned a reputation as a market leader around the world. We at Car Sound are extremely proud of this and stake our 25 years of experience and reputation on our products. Each new converter we develop is personally evaluated and tested by our team of designers and engineers to ensure that it meets our expectations on emission reductions.
MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converters by Car Sound form the basic building blocks for a comprehensive line of direct-fit applications. The main benefit of the universal catalytic converter is that one unit may cover a wide variety of vehicle makes and models. Installing universal converters often requires the use of welding, cutting and tube bending equipment that is readily available to most professional installers.
MagnaFlow's California 43000 Catalytic Converters are the first series of a new line of converters designed for use on vehicles equipped with Second Generation On-Board Diagnostic (OBDII) systems. They are designed, tested, and catalogued for specific vehicles. They are not traditional universal converters. These converters have higher efficiency than conventional strict California requirements for conversion efficiency and durability. These converters are warranted for 5 years or 50,000 miles on the converter body and 5 years on the performance of the internal catalyst, including replacement for OBDII diagnostic codes for low catalyst efficiency.
The specific vehicle applications exempted by the CARB for Series 43000 are included in our catalog. Other applications are NOT automatically exempted. Additional vehicle applications will be added as testing is completed. Please check for new applications and new OBDII converter series that are not included in this catalog. For vehicles outside of California, Series 43000 converters offer superior efficiency and durability.
Our conventional aftermarket converters can be used satisfactorily on many OBDII vehicles outside of California. Most OBDII vehicles do not have oxygen sensor bosses in the converter body.
Both the EPA and CARB have the following policy on OBDII Aftermarket Converter Replacement:
The original converter is shown to be defective by emission tests, the OBDII system or the converter is physically damaged, and the converter is no longer covered by the OEM vehicle emission warranty (generally 8 years or 80,000)
The aftermarket converter is selected based on the converter manufacturer's catalog.
The aftermarket converter is in the same location as the original converter.
The converter is installed with any other required converters for the application (i.e., 2-for-1 replacement is not permitted) and other functioning OEM converters must remain installed.
After installation, the OBDII diagnostic codes need to be cleared according to the vehicle manufacturer's instructions; otherwise, the OBDII system may immediately turn on the Check Engine Light.
A completed warranty card must be returned to the manufacturer.
