MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust METALLIC-CAT catalytic converters.

Ok here's the scoop. We have just wrapped up categorization and part numbering for both emissions compliant and race part offerings.

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59920 Series – ULTRA High-Flow Performance Catalyst (Center / Center)
Highest flowing catalyst available. 59929 was tested (1000 cfm range @ 28" of H2O) to flow ~600 CFM. The one piece spun body long neck design and 400 cell density metal composite core make for the best flowing catalyst while providing compact packaging and extreme durability.

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59950 Series – Compact High-Flow Performance Catalyst (Center / Center)
High flowing compact packaging catalyst. 59959 was tested (1000 cfm range @ 28" of H2O) to flow ~570 CFM. The one piece spun body short neck design and 400 cell density metal composite core make for excellet flow and extreme durability. The compact series uses all the same features as the ultra high-flow but provides for SMALLEST packaging avialable in high performance cats.

NEW to spun body catalyst market.

If even our compact series cannot accomodate your needs we now offer inlet variations for just about every possible condition you may run into. Why compromise flow by cutting into bends for your mid pipes when you can attain the best flow in your pipes and catalyst?

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59990 Series – High-Flow Performance Catalyst (Offset / Same Side Offset)
Variant of the 59950 series with added inlet and out configurations.

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59970 Series – High-Flow Performance Catalyst(Center / 30˚Angle)
Variant of the 59950 series with added inlet and out configurations.

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59980 Series – High-Flow Performance Catalyst (30˚Angle / 30˚Angle)
Variant of the 59950 series with added inlet and out configurations.

MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE EXHAUST METALLIC-CAT
59960 Series – High-Flow Performance Catalyst (Offset / Opposing Offset)
Variant of the 59950 series with added inlet and out configurations.

Here are dimensions and details by model number: METALLIC-CAT

Pricing and availibility are being released to distributors this week.

 

WOW! Those are some really good configurations! Almost makes me consider running cats again!

 

You EFFIN ROCK Rich !!

Nice work !!

Do any of these have CARB certification yet ?

Cheers,

P.S. My exhaust kicks so much ***. Can't thank you enough.

 

Yeah, any info on California OBD II compliance? It seems like nothing can pass the smog ****'s regulations!

 

Besides the actual diagrams, do you have pic of one, looking into it...?

 

I got to see these tested back to back against other aftermarket cats. I have to say it's a very impressive product!

 

SWEET! As soon as some of the vendors have them, i'll be placing an order!

 

they arent going too. Ever noticed how california based performance companies dont sell anything that has CARB cert. Oh boy we have shorties and mufflers. Non of the items listed above can be run on CA cars.

 

Sucks for the CA people. I'll be picking up a couple of these bad boys ASAP

 

Excellent! Hope to run a pair of these on my Trailblazer-SS headers!

Question though, why not make these have an inlet-ID and an outlet-OD for proper exhaust slip-fit attachments???? (that is, for example a 2.5" ID on one side, and a 2.5" OD on the other side....)

I don't understand why this wouldn't be standard practice.

 

When will we know when we can start ordering?

 

Yeah, oh boy.

 

I am not so sure waht you mean ...
We are a California based performance company and offer quite a few CARB EO's midpipes utilizing high flow catalyst.

Here is some information on our CA OBDII compliant cats:
http://www.car-sound.com/catalog/universal/430info.aspx

We have entire line coverage for a variety of CA performance V8 applications:
GM
1999-2002 4.3L V6 Silverado/Sierra 1500
1999-2002 4.8L V8 Silverado/Sierra 1500
1999-2002 5.3L V8 Silverado/Sierra 1500
2001-2002 4.8L V8 Tahoe/Yukon 1500
2001-2002 5.3L V8 Tahoe/Yukon 1500
2001-2002 5.3L V8 Suburban/Yukon XL 1500
Dodge
1996-1999 3.9L V6 Ram 1500
1996-1999 5.9L V8 Ram 1500
1996-1999 5.9L V8 Ram 2500
1996-1999 5.9L V8 Ram 3500

These are just some I recall of the top of my head. You do have to realize that a particular vehicle market msut be tested and approved on an indivual baisis with the ARB thus making it more cost effective to cover the largest markets first. To put costs into perspective the testing requires purchase of the vehicle and 3rd party testing at costs in excess of 2000 / test. On average expect a minimum of 10-12 tests conducted per application / model year break. With these kind of costs you shoudl expect a great obstacle for ANY company moving into this category of sales. WE, however, have 5.7-6.0 LSx applications wrapping up our 2006 development schedule. Be patient ... I doubt any other OEM replacement catalyst manufacturer has even diversified their line to include as many "Performance" parts as we have.

As far as shorties and mufflers go, it is the legislation us California voters allowed to be put in place. We put people in place that have designed these laws to not allow devises that move either cats and/or O2 sensors from their orginal places more than an inch. Its not hte fault of companies which are held accountable to making compliant parts in accordance with legislative regulations.

Thanks for the info Oxidizr.

...the more CARB legal aftermarket parts for fbods the better ! Having CARB legal cat replacement options would certainly make life easier for lots of us owners.

Replacement factory cats are outrageously priced !! I was quoted ~$1,500 - and you can't legally get them from a junkyard etiher !!

LMAO A truck or POS Dodge like my gas milage doesnt suck already. I wouldnt waste money for LSx development for a high flow shortie cat...imo its a lose lose..when you can switch out long tubes every 2 years. My gripe was that the cali companies still produce non carb products for "off road" use when there isnt a use for them here.

if you needed some replacement cats i am sure texas has an abundance of them seeing that they really dont have strict emission control.


Bad30th - I had a extra set of low mile cats you could have used if needed

 

Can you post pricing here when available?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Well, no speculation here in that we already move between 100-150 performance direct fits catalysts in this category alone each MONTH. This has already proven to be a lucritive section of the market.

I'm glad to say you are not the one with the descision making capacity for how we spend our money.

That is quite a contrdicting statement from a person who just one sentence earlier was condoning the purchase of Long tube headers...which guess what ... are "Off-Road" use. This is NOT a CA off-road issue either, this is a EPA federal standard which prohibits the replacement of any devise which may alter the position of with the O2 sensor or catalyst substrate...meaning LTs are ILLEGAL everywhere from 1996+.

What your asking to have happen or at least saying is you wish California based companies did, is stop making "off-road parts?" I'm confused ... is the performance industry not based on racing developed parts trickling down to street use cars? You don't want this to happen?

For now ... EPA is in deliberation regarding WHEN not IF CA OBDII will be adopted the the remaining 49 states over the next two years. OBDIII with live time monitoring is next for California ... Implementation is projected 2008-2009.

 

Yes I will

 

oxidizr, good info, thanks.
