![]() ![]() While I would love to have OEM cats, I simply cannot afford the price of them right now. so that's why I looked to Magnaflow first. The OEM MSRP prices for those two parts are 1305 and 234, respectively. The converter was a perfect fit as promised. I know there are other mfg's of direct fit cats, but I've read a lot of horror stories about Eastern and others. I replaced the catalytic converter on my 2000 honda odyssey with a Magnaflow Direct-Fit-Catalytic Converter,and I couldnt be happier. My truck is my winter daily driver, but in the other 3 seasons gets driven maybe once a week.Īny help would be appreicated. I have 100k on my truck and wondering if I would be better off spending the money on the OEM grade. the price difference appears to be just about $120. "Standard heavy metal coating" vs "OEM Grade". Please refer to your emissions tag located on the underside of the hood. California Emissions Equipment Outside of California.OEM Grade is recommended for vehicles that have: OEM Grade converters are specially formulated with a heavier wash coat and loaded with twice the amount of precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) to provide a much stronger coverage. My question is has anyone used either version of the Magnaflow direct fit replacement cats? They are both OBDII compliant, and it just appears one has a heavier coat of heavy metal wash, they call them "OEM Grade" #Walker vs. magnaflow cat plusThe dealer was pretty sympathetic and tried to cut me a deal on price of OEM stuff but was still way above what I wanted to pay, so he agreed to replace the exhaust with the pieces I bring him for a charge of one hour labor plus misc stuff like gaskets, etc. I used Magnaflow replacements for my Nissan Murano a while back, and they held up for 40k miles at which time I sold the POS.Īlso, since I'm replacing one side, I figure I should probably do both. Summit Racing doesnt appear to have any in stock (until early Oct.), so Ill have to look elsewhere to find one. The Magnaflow 93506 universal may be what I go with, it covers the engine range, and theres no physical fitment problem on my application. The OEM MSRP prices for those two parts are $1305 and $234, respectively. Due to its overall length, Ill have to rule out the Walker due to fitment issues. I need to replace PN#17450-0F050 (left side catalytic converter item 2 in pic) and the part it connects too, PN#17403-0F040 (item 3 in pic). I live in MA, so they are a bunch of nazi's about this stuff. In fact when they re-assembled it, a couple holes opened up in two of the pipes and now I have a rather nice sound rumble-y V8 (which won't pass inspection due in 2 months). So I just got my 2003 Tundra SR5 V8 back from the dealer after my frame swap and he made me aware that my exhaust was really rotted out. ![]()
