Using your MagnaFlow Universal Catalytic Converter is straightforward. First, find out if your vehicle model is on the compatible list. If it is, professional installers will typically use welding, cutting, and tube - bending equipment to install it. Make sure to work in a well - ventilated area to avoid inhaling exhaust fumes. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check for any signs of damage or blockage. If you notice a decrease in your vehicle's performance or an increase in exhaust emissions, it might be time to have the catalytic converter inspected. Avoid using low - quality fuel as it can damage the converter over time. With proper use and maintenance, your MagnaFlow catalytic converter will serve you well for a long time.
