MagnaFlow OEM Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 52942 for Ford Explorer, Taurus, Flex

If you’re looking to keep that pesky check engine light off and want a solid upgrade for your ride, the MagnaFlow OEM Grade Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter 52942 is a great choice. This isn’t just any converter; it’s built with free-flowing mandrel-bent tubing and crafted from stainless steel that can take a beating. You can throw this on yourself with just a few tools—no cutting or welding required. Seriously, it’s that straightforward.

What really sets this converter apart is the attention to detail in the design. MagnaFlow uses some high-tech 3D scanning during development to ensure that this part fits as snugly as the original. It mimics the OE spun body design, and that single laser fusion weld? It’s a game changer for preventing leaks. Plus, the compact design means better thermal efficiency, which is a win-win.

This converter is made for a bunch of Ford models, including the 2013-2018 Explorer and the 2010-2017 Taurus, among others. It swaps right in for OE part AA5Z 5E213-B, so you know it’s going to fit like it should. And don’t forget to use the included gaskets to avoid any exhaust leaks—trust me, it’s a small step that makes a big difference.

Oh, and it meets or exceeds Federal emissions standards, so you’re good on the legal front if you’ve got an OBDII registered vehicle with either California or Federal/EPA emissions systems.
