49 State Catalytic Converter

The FLOWMASTER 49 State Catalytic Converter (Part Number 2000130) is a universal-fit emissions control component engineered for vehicles operating across 49 states where federal catalytic converter standards apply. This 3-inch inlet and outlet unit features a stainless steel construction, round case design measuring 4.5 x 4.5 inches with an 8-inch length, and delivers the substrate surface area and oxygen storage capacity necessary to meet EPA exhaust emission regulations while maintaining backpressure within factory tolerances.

The stainless steel composition resists corrosion from the high-temperature catalytic oxidation process and moisture exposure, which extends service life compared to mild steel alternatives. The 200 Series designation indicates this converter is optimized for inline or manifold mounting on mid-size displacement applications where exhaust temperatures remain in the optimal catalytic conversion window. At 2.84 pounds, the unit balances structural integrity with minimal weight penalty, reducing strain on exhaust hangers and transmission-mounted brackets. The universal bolt-on design accommodates standard 3-inch diameter piping used across multiple vehicle manufacturers.

This converter serves technicians, fleet operators, and vehicle owners requiring OEM-specification emissions compliance for older vehicles, restoration projects, or equipment where original equipment manufacturers' catalytic converters are unavailable or cost-prohibitive. The 49-state rating indicates compliance with Environmental Protection Agency standards; California-specific applications require alternative catalytic converter designs. Whether you're maintaining commercial fleet emissions standards or restoring a classic vehicle to factory specifications, the FLOWMASTER 49 State Catalytic Converter provides verified emissions performance within a direct-bolt architecture.
