MagnaFlow MAG52005 OEM Grade Federal EPA Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Volvo S80 V70 XC70 XC60 3.2L L6 FWD

The MagnaFlow MAG52005 is an OEM Grade Federal/EPA compliant direct-fit catalytic converter engineered specifically for 2010 through 2015 Volvo S80, V70, XC70, and XC60 models equipped with the 3.2L L6 engine. Built in Oceanside, California, the MAG52005 combines a higher precious metal loading than standard-grade converters with mandrel-bent 409 stainless steel construction and 3D scanning metrology for an exact OE fit. At 2.25 in. bolt-on inlet and 2.50 in. bolt-on outlet, this assembly installs without cutting or welding and transfers your existing O2 sensors directly. Note: the MAG52005 is Federal/EPA compliant only and is NOT legal for sale or use in California or any state that has adopted CARB emissions standards.

What's Included

• MagnaFlow MAG52005 direct-fit catalytic converter assembly (combined pre-cat and main cat in one unit)
• Inlet gasket(s)
• Outlet gasket(s)
• Mounting hardware
• Factory-style OE-sized barbed exhaust hangers (410 stainless steel)

Not Included: Exhaust clamps (not required for bolt-on installation).

OEM Grade Construction

The term OEM Grade carries real meaning in MagnaFlow's lineup. Standard-grade converters use lower precious metal loading in the washcoat, which can result in reduced conversion efficiency over time. The MAG52005 uses a higher precious metal loading matched to original equipment specifications, ensuring the three-way ceramic monolithic honeycomb substrate performs at or above factory efficiency from day one.

The outer shell is formed from 16-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing shaped with mandrel bending, which preserves the full interior diameter through every curve and keeps exhaust flow unrestricted. The body uses a single laser fusion weld on an OE-style spun construction, minimizing the number of seams and dramatically reducing the risk of exhaust leaks. Circumferential ribbing on the body controls thermal expansion and distortion at high operating temperatures, protects the internal cushioning mat, and keeps the ceramic catalyst substrate properly aligned inside the housing throughout its service life.

All external joints are completed with 308 stainless steel MIG welds. Exhaust hangers are fabricated from 410 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. MagnaFlow uses 3D scanning metrology during the design process to map every dimension against the original equipment part, so the MAG52005 fits Volvo factory mounting points and bracket locations without modification.

Direct-Fit Installation

The MAG52005 is a true bolt-on replacement. The 2.25 in. bolt-on inlet and 2.50 in. bolt-on outlet mate directly to the factory exhaust flanges on compatible Volvo 3.2L vehicles. No pipe cutting, no welding, and no custom fabrication are required. The assembly arrives with inlet gaskets, outlet gaskets, and mounting hardware.

Two O2 sensor ports are built into the assembly: one midbed port and one post-converter port. Both accept the factory Volvo O2 sensors without modification; the existing sensors transfer directly from the original converter to the MAG52005. The unit is fully OBD II compliant. MagnaFlow's CatSmart enabled emissions technology is integrated into the design, and the attached aluminized steel heat shield is factory-installed on the converter body before shipment.

Fitment Table

Fitment Notes

• XC60 and XC70: FWD ONLY. The MAG52005 does NOT fit AWD or XWD variants of the XC60 or XC70. Verify your drivetrain before ordering.
• Engine Code Verification Required: 2010 model year vehicles use engine code B6324S2. XC70 and XC60 from 2011 onward use engine code B6324S4. Confirm via engine block stamp, under-hood emissions label, or Volvo VIN lookup.
• If your vehicle is equipped with AWD or XWD, the MAG52005 is not the correct part. Contact us before ordering to identify the correct converter for your application.

Full Specifications

Federal/EPA Emissions Compliance

The MagnaFlow MAG52005 is Federal/EPA compliant ONLY. It is NOT CARB compliant and is NOT legal for sale, registration, or use in California or in any state that has adopted California emissions standards.

States that have adopted California emissions standards include, but may not be limited to: California, Colorado, Maine, and New York. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify emissions regulations in their state before purchasing.

If you are located in California or a CARB-adopting state, do not purchase the MAG52005. For all other states, the 52005 meets Federal EPA emissions requirements as a direct OEM replacement converter and is legal for street use.

California Proposition 65 Warning

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including nickel compounds, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Made in the USA

The MagnaFlow MAG52005 is manufactured at MagnaFlow's facility in Oceanside, California. American manufacturing allows MagnaFlow to maintain tighter tolerances, use in-house 3D scanning metrology for fit verification, and conduct direct quality control from raw material to finished assembly.

Warranty

The MAG52005 is backed by two separate MagnaFlow limited warranties:

• Construction Warranty: 5 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first) against defects in materials and workmanship.
• Emissions Warranty: 25,000 miles against failure to meet Federal emissions requirements.

Both warranties are non-transferable and apply to the original purchaser only. The warranty is void if the converter is installed on a wrong vehicle, altered in any way, or used in racing applications. MagnaFlow's warranty is issued in compliance with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MAG52005 legal to use in California?
No. The MAG52005 is Federal/EPA compliant only. It is not CARB certified and cannot be legally sold, registered, or installed on a vehicle operated in California. It is also not legal in states that have adopted California emissions standards, including Colorado, Maine, and New York. Buyers in those states should not purchase this part.

Will the MAG52005 fit my AWD or XWD Volvo XC70 or XC60?
No. The MAG52005 is designed and verified for front-wheel drive configurations of the XC70 and XC60 only. AWD and XWD variants use different exhaust routing that is not compatible with the 52005.

How do I verify the engine code before ordering?
The engine code is stamped on the engine block and printed on the vehicle's under-hood emissions label. For 2010 model year Volvo S80, V70, and XC70 vehicles, the correct code is B6324S2. For XC70 and XC60 models from 2011 onward, the correct code is B6324S4.

Do I need to buy new O2 sensors when installing the MAG52005?
In most cases, no. The MAG52005 accepts the factory Volvo O2 sensors from your original converter at both the midbed and post-converter ports. If your existing sensors are in good condition, they transfer directly.

Will this converter throw an OBD II check-engine light?
The MAG52005 is fully OBD II compliant and uses higher precious metal loading designed to meet OEM conversion efficiency thresholds. On a properly running engine with functional O2 sensors correctly reinstalled, it should not trigger a P0420 code after correct installation.

How difficult is the installation?
The MAG52005 is a bolt-on direct fit. No cutting, no welding, and no custom fabrication are required. The assembly arrives with inlet gaskets, outlet gaskets, and mounting hardware. MagnaFlow recommends professional installation if you are not familiar with exhaust system work.

What voids the MAG52005 warranty?
The warranty is voided by installation on a vehicle not in the fitment chart, any physical alteration of the converter, or use in racing. Damage from engine-related causes such as misfires, oil burning, or coolant leaks into the exhaust is not covered.

Is the MAG52005 legal to use in Canada?
Yes. The MAG52005 is Canadian certified and meets Canadian federal emissions requirements. It is legal for sale and use across Canadian provinces.

Does the MAG52005 include a heat shield?
Yes. An aluminized steel heat shield is attached to the converter body at the factory. No additional heat shield purchase is necessary for standard installation.

Is this a combined pre-cat and main cat, or just the main converter?
The MagnaFlow MAG52005 combines the pre-cat and the main catalytic converter into a single assembly. This matches the OE design for the applicable Volvo 3.2L applications, replacing both catalytic stages in one installation.
