Magnaflow 46034 Universal Catalytic Converter Review

Magnaflow 46034 Universal Catalytic Converter

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 2000 Acura Integra didn't pass smog. It was close, but hydrocarbons were just over the limit. Everything else was plenty low.
After replacing both O2 sensors at the mechanic's suggestions, it still didn't pass. So I went ahead and ordered this cat. Keep in mind it has the rear O2 bung but no flanges. So I cut the flanges off the Honda cat and welded them on here. Drove right over and passed with flying colors. Almost all values were 0 and well below the average.
I later found out after ordering there is an even cheaper one available (~$140) that does not have the O2 bung. If I ever need another one I'll buy that and weld in a bung. It's magnaflow model 36034 incase anyone was wondering. Same catalytic core, pipe dia on both sides and same length.
If your car is throwing a catalyst efficency code, just order one of these and don't waste your time replacing O2 sensors like I did.

Magnaflow 23433 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter (Non CARB compliant)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the item in a timely manner, but discovered that it wouldn't fit my application. It was through no fault of the seller, but disappointing all the same. Other than the wrong application, the catalytic converter was a well made quality product. I contacted the seller, who responded promptly with return information. I would do business with them again, but will have to pay more attention to the vehicle sub-categories to get the exact part I want.

Magnaflow 46006 Universal Catalytic Converter

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's hard to judge the long term durability of a cat because so many external factors can lead to premature failure. What I can say is that the workmanship appears to be good (solid feed, good welds, etc). I failed miserably with my old cat, and passed with flying colors with this one. So this model worked well for me.
Many of my friends have had very poor luck with all makes of aftermarket cats. It could be that they are of poorer quality than OEM. It may be that aftermarket cats typically are installed on older cars that have other problems. If your car is running rich you can burn up even the best catalytic converter. This is why many people who buy aftermarket cats wind up changing them every biannual smog check. I will find out in two years whether I can pass more than one inspection cycle with this cat.

(More customer reviews)Regular 49 state legal cats and okay, but the 50 state legal cats have to meet California's strict CARB standards and have to be inspected and certified. Worth the extra $$$ as I believe it will last longer than 49 state version.

Magnaflow 91006 Universal Catalytic Converter (Non CARB compliant) Review

Magnaflow 91006 Universal Catalytic Converter (Non CARB compliant)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nice product for the most part. Helped the Jeep to pass the Emissions with very low numbers.
The only reason I did not rate this higher was that the inlet and outlet size was on the large size. More of a slop fit rather than a slip fit. I welded the pipes together and it would have been much easier if the tubes were not belled out so large about 0.125 to big.
However even with the install problems I would still recommend this and will buy again from my next project. The above issues may not be a problem if you are clamping your parts together.

(More customer reviews)I ordered this cat made by magnaflow for a 1994 Toyota 4Runner 3.0L V6, with California emissions. The overall length of the cat I have is 20 1/2". The replacement cat from magnaflow is only 17-3/8". After talking with magnaflow's tech dept, they were of no help to solve the problem. I had to order the universal cat and have my local muffler shop fabricate the flanges to the correct length.

Magnaflow 23882 Direct Fit Catalytic Converter (Non CARB compliant)

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Made multiply changes to exhaust system so unknown results of just this item. My stock 3.4l Toyota Tacoma truck has more power, that I always suspected of had a restrictive exhaust system which is true. Whether this restriction was from the catalytic converter or the muffler system; I do not know, but after putting on this stainless steel catalytic converter that does bolt in/on place without modifications to a Gibson stainless steel exhaust kit that does not simply bolt in place, my truck now has a noisier growl and runs free. Wish I made this change when I first bought the truck, as it is far better even with the added noise factor, which grows on you but I would like to have it quite if I did not have to give up a better running truck. I believe the noise is do to the smaller muffler and has nothing to do with the catalytic converter, only wish I new if changing the catalytic converter would have improved the flow without adding the noise that I believe is caused by the after market exhaust system which cost a lot to install as it was not a bolt in/on no matter how they describe it. All I know is that you are going be going to good muffler shop which should be able to do the same job with the parts they have on hand. It would have been worth buying the exhaust kit it if was simple installation complete with the flange plate that bolts up to the catalytic converter and factory style muffler hangers welded in place but then you still going to shop to have it welded for a seal tight durable connection which means your are going to be paying more money to have it installed, killing any savings of buying a exhaust kit, especially one that does not come with the flange plate and needs to be welded together to be a sealed system plus the clamp on supplied single hanging bracket(s) suck compared to the welded on dual factory original setup. Thanks to my installer he fabricated a setup similar to the factory muffler hanger which I am very pleased with. Secondary thoughts are that the stainless steel system is over kill and the aluminumized steel is the way to go according to the muffler shop I went to. complete with the flange plate that bolts up to the catalyic converter and factory style muffler hangers welded in place but then you still going to shop to have it welded for a seal tight durable connection which means your are going to be paying more money to have it installed, killing any savings of buying a exhaust kit, especially one that does not come with the flange plate and needs to be welded together to be a sealed system plus the clamp on supplied single hanging bracket(s) suck compared to the welded on dual factory orginal setup. Thanks to my installer he fabricated a setup similar to the factory muffler hanger which I am very pleased with. Secondary thoughts are that the stainless steel system is over kill and the aluminized steel is the way to go according to the muffler shop I went to. If you live in Washington State you are going to be paying sales tax if you use Amazon.

Magnaflow 34016 Universal Catalytic Converter - CARB Compliant Review

Magnaflow 34016 Universal Catalytic Converter - CARB Compliant

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this for a Ford F-150 that wouldn't pass the smog inspection. I thought I would be able to find a way to install it myself, but after looking at it and at the exhaust system, I realized there was just no way I could do that. It had to be inert-gas welded. It is all stainless steel, which is good, but welding stainless steel is not something I can do. I could have welded carbon steel, but welding stainless is a bit much for most home mechanics. I tried to figure out some other way to mount it, but that was just not practical. I was hoping that it would come with some sort of kit or adapters or instructions to provide for do-it-yourself installation, but it didn't.
As it turned out, I needed professional installation help anyway, because the truck actually has two catalytic converters and when I did take it to a muffler shop to have it installed, they found that the other one (of a totally different geometry) was also shot and needed to be replaced as well. I did save a little bit of money getting a good deal on this one from Amazon, but the whole replacement cost way more than the cost of this part.
Replacing the two converters did solve the smog test problem though, and it passed with flying colors after that.

(More customer reviews)It didn't quite fit my '96 s10, but after a quick trip to Advance to get some exhaust pipe and a bit of welding it was ready to be tacked, welded, and put into place. It didn't turn off my check engine light simply because it turned out to be an 02 sensor, but there is no doubt the old ac delco one was waaay past needing to be replaced, the whole thing was melted nearly plumb through. My gas mileage has gone up substantially, and paired with my cat-back exhaust it's given my truck a nice low rumble. Overall, if you can weld, and are willing to do a bit of work to make it fit it's a great cat, especially for the price.
