MagnaFlow 408005 Catalytic Converter - Left or Right

California-Grade Universal Catalytic Converter

MagnaFlow 408005 is a 2.25 in. universal California OBDII catalytic converter built for direct exhaust system fabrication where CARB compliance is required. Its stainless steel body and ceramic substrate are paired with a welded-in, straight-through universal layout for a wide range of older import and domestic applications.

Compatible With 1995-2000 Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Stratus, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Toyota Tacoma, and other listed vehicles, this converter is engineered to help keep the check engine light off when installed to the correct application. MagnaFlow 408005 is also a CARB-compliant replacement for California and other CARB-restricted states on the listed vehicles.

Product Details

The MagnaFlow California Grade Universal Catalytic Converter line is built for vehicles that need a CARB-approved exhaust emissions replacement and a flexible installation format. Part number 408005 uses a 2.25 in. inlet and outlet, a 13 in. overall length, and a stainless steel finish to support fabrication into the exhaust system where an OE-style direct-fit converter is not specified. This part is listed for 1995-2000 model-year applications, including 1996-1999 Dodge Avenger, 1997-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and 1999 Toyota Tacoma, with additional vehicle-specific notes where applicable.

This part cross-references Walker (e.g., 16337, 16338) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light concerns related to catalytic converter efficiency
• Need for a CARB-compliant replacement in California or CARB-restricted states
• Exhaust system repair on vehicles requiring a weld-in universal converter
• Corrosion-related replacement needs in older exhaust systems
• Fitment challenges on listed Chrysler, Dodge, Mitsubishi, and Toyota applications

Installation Notes

Installation requires cutting and welding. Verify inlet and outlet diameter, overall length, body dimensions, and vehicle-specific CARB Executive Order coverage before installation. This converter uses weld-on straight inlet and outlet connections and does not include oxygen sensor ports, hangers, clamps, gaskets, or mounting hardware.

For fitment-sensitive applications such as 1998 Chevrolet Camaro, 1998 Pontiac Firebird, and 1996 Buick Roadmaster, confirm left or right side placement and engine family notes against the vehicle’s emissions label and exhaust layout.

Quality Assurance

MagnaFlow 408005 is built to meet or exceed California Air Resources Board requirements and has undergone additional CARB compliance testing for legal use on the listed vehicles in California and other CARB-restricted states. The stainless steel construction and ceramic substrate support long-term exhaust service in emissions-critical applications.
