F150 MagnaFlow Catalytic Universal Converter covers a wide variety Ford F150 models and wide range of F150 truck years. Also Car Sounds MagnaFlow Universal catalytic converters form the basic building blocks for many applications. The best benefits of a universal converter is that one converter covers a wide variety Ford F150 models.
These great converters are extremely well made units featuring a ribbed body to minimize converter distortion and expansion when the catalytic converter heats up. The ribs form actually forms a channel to protect the cushioning mat from direct exposure to exhaust gases that holds the ceramic catalyst in proper alignment.
Manufactured with separate dies on different sized Catalytic converter inlets. Putting larger neck sizes on smaller Catalytic bodies would reduce the flow of the converter and the quality of the product.
As a monolithic honeycomb catalyst the ceramic catalytic converter is designed for maximum flow and surface area. The coating method is strictly controlled to maintain exact specifications. An improper Catalytic coating could result in flow restrictions or an emissions test failure.
An aluminized or stainless OEM-style ribbed heat shield that creates a rigid wall of protection against heat and adds to the structural stability of the Catalytic converter.
Installing universal converters often requires the use of welding, cutting, and tube-bending equipment that is readily available to most professional installers.
