A damaged catalytic converter not only reduces engine performance on your Mitsubishi Eclipse, if the unit becomes clogged, but hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and even oxides of nitrogen are released into the atmosphere if the converter breaks apart.
These steps will guide you to remove the catalytic converter on your vehicle so you can replace it, whether you have a second or third generation Eclipse. Let's go.
Park your vehicle in a safe and level place. Raise the front using a jack and support it safely on jack stands. Inspect the exhaust bolts at the exhaust pipe, catalytic converter, mounting brackets and center exhaust pipe.
Soak bolts and clamp joints with rust dissolving solution at least half an hour before you begin the job to help them loosen up if necessary. Make sure the exhaust system is cool to the touch before you start working on it.
Temperatures reach over F on the exhaust system and it takes time to cool down. Put on your goggles and disconnect the front exhaust pipe from the exhaust manifold using a ratchet and socket or wrench. Up until now, replacing the catalytic converter and headers on these vehicles was very expensive because it involved quite a bit of custom work. Now, MagnaFlow offers an easy, direct-fit and bolt-on solution that really works to improve exhaust flow on Mitsubishi Eclipses with this special setup.
The only way to legally replace the headers on Mitsubishi Eclipses with the catalytic converter built into the exhaust manifold. Uses the same high quality MagnaFlow catalytic converter construction found in all other MagnaFlow converters.
Direct-fit solution that is easy to install and offers the benefits of both a header and high-flow cat. A few applications may require some welding for optimal installation. The neck does not extend into the converter body where it could hamper exhaust flow. MagnaFlow maintains separate dies on different sized inlets. They don't skimp by putting larger neck sizes on smaller bodies. This would reduce the flow of the converter and reduce the quality of the product.
MagnaFlow uses a monolithic honeycomb catalyst. The ceramic is designed for maximum flow and surface area. The coating method is strictly controlled to maintain exact specifications. An improper coating could result in flow restrictions or an emission test failure. MagnaFlow uses a heavier gauge stainless steel, tip to tip. Other manufacturers use mixed weights and materials. MagnaFlow catalytic converters are seam welded close to the converter body for a strong, tight bond.
MagnaFlow does not weld along the edge, which could allow the converter to expand like the folds in an accordion, allowing the catalyst to move around.

MagnaFlow installs a factory capped, 90 degree air tube on "with air" converters. This saves time during installation in to your Mitsubishi Eclipse.
