MagnaFlow's California 40000 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 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 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.
