Catalytic Converter Universal
Universal catalytic converters replace failing OEM converters on vehicles where a direct-fit replacement is unavailable or where a custom exhaust configuration requires a weld-in solution. Selecting the correct substrate size, inlet and outlet diameter, and cell density ensures proper fit and emissions performance. Popular Upgrades The most popular choices include high-flow universal catalytic converters with 400-cell metallic substrates for performance applications, standard-density 3-way catalytic converters for emissions-legal replacements, and high-temperature stainless steel bodies for durability under extreme exhaust heat. High-flow options from MagnaFlow and similar brands reduce backpressure while maintaining catalytic efficiency. What size universal catalytic converter do I need? Universal catalytic converter sizing is based on inlet and outlet pipe diameter, body length, and overall length. Common inlet sizes range from 1.75 to 3 inches. Matching the converter to your exis...
