Description
Overview
The Flowmaster Catalytic Converter-Universal-225 Series is a 49-state (Federal) 3-Way converter engineered to meet federal EPA emissions requirements across a wide variety of applications. Built with a stainless steel outer shell and a ceramic core substrate, it delivers the durability and efficiency serious enthusiasts and daily drivers expect. With a 3.00 in. inlet and 3.00 in. outlet, an oval core shape, and Premium Grade construction, this universal converter is designed for excellent flow while helping keep your emissions system operating the way it should.
So what does a catalytic converter do? In simple terms, a catalytic converter is the emissions component that treats exhaust gases before they exit your vehicle, converting harmful pollutants into less harmful output. This 3-Way design uses carefully engineered internal substrate material and precious metal loading to maximize efficiency and, just as importantly, to help avoid the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) code issues that are common with lower quality converters. If you’re weighing a catalytic converter replacement or a catalytic converter repair on an aging system, a properly matched Flowmaster unit is a smart way to restore proper flow and emissions performance.
