Magnaflow Catalytic Converter

[87LC2]

Does anyone run this Magnaflow converter on their 5.2 - https://www.amazon.com/MagnaFlow-23...tic+dodge+ram+5.2&qid=1572352583&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Noticed a rattle at idle so got under the truck and it's definitely the OEM converter, sounds like it broke apart inside when I bang on it. Truck still runs great, but I know at some point it will completely fail and cause me problems.

Figured this wold be an easy replacement option and looks a bit bigger than the stock setup with nice mandrel bends. Anyone use this? Any opinions?

I have recommended Magnaflow products to my customers over the years with zero complaints. These direct fit y-pipes are a nice, clean setup. With stainless steel construction you will have years of reliable service.

Good to hear, thank you. I think this is the way I'll go. I'll definitely replace both O2 sensors when I do this, they dont look like they're coming out...Also not looking forward to removing the bolts that attach the current y pipe setup to the manifolds, hopefully they come out without breaking.

I guess it depends if you need the converter to pass emissions or not. If not, you can install a 99 Dakota Y pipe - which uses a separate converter - and tie it into the rest of your exhaust without installing a converter. I used an Eastern Exhaust 93103 on mine, which was only about $60 shipped. It has the upstream O2 **** installed. You can leave the downstream as is - it doesn't seem to affect tuning or throw codes - ECM only seems to read heater function. Here's a link to my exhaust build on my 96 5.9 Ram 1500.

I Purchased this exact CC for my Dodge in 2015. Install was very easy. Have some PB Blaster on hand to hit those bolts. Overall I am pleased, but truck throws a P0420 code every 6 months or so. Use Torque to reset. Make sure if you change your O2 Sensors to not use Bosch. I Had to go back and replace with NGK. If ordering on Amazon be sure to check the connector before ordering to get the right one. My truck I found out has California Emissions. GL
