Confronta due convertitori catalitici diretti MagnaFlow OEM Grade per la Chrysler Pacifica 3.8L e la Jaguar S-Type 3.0L. Scopri la compatibilità, la conformità EPA e quale convertitore è adatto al tuo veicolo.
Quick answer
For a 2005-2008 Chrysler Pacifica 3.8L, choose the MagnaFlow 51484. For a 2000-2002 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L or 2000-2005 Lincoln LS 3.0L, choose the MagnaFlow 49178. Both are OEM Grade Federal/EPA compliant direct-fit converters with stainless steel construction.
Why direct-fit matters for these vehicles
Both the Chrysler Pacifica and the Jaguar S-Type have specific exhaust layouts that make a universal converter a headache. A direct-fit catalytic converter bolts in without cutting or welding, which saves time and reduces the risk of exhaust leaks.
MagnaFlow uses mandrel-bent tubing and corrosion-resistant stainless steel on both models. That means consistent exhaust flow and longer service life compared to budget universal cats.
Trade-offs between the two converters
The MagnaFlow 51484 (Chrysler Pacifica) and 49178 (Jaguar S-Type / Lincoln LS) share the same OEM Grade construction and EPA compliance. The main trade-off is purely fitment: each converter is engineered for a specific engine and chassis. You cannot swap them between vehicles.
Price is also a factor. The 51484 has a catalog price of $323.05 (compare at $497.00), while the 49178 is $347.80 (compare at $470.00). The Pacifica converter offers slightly more savings relative to the comparison price.
How to choose between the two
- Check your vehicle year and engine: The 51484 fits 2005-2008 Chrysler Pacifica with the 3.8L V6. The 49178 fits 2000-2002 Jaguar S-Type 3.0L and 2000-2005 Lincoln LS 3.0L. Double-check your VIN or engine code before ordering.
- Confirm EPA compliance for your state: Both converters are Federal / EPA compliant. If you live in a CARB-compliant state (California, New York, etc.), you may need a different part. Check local regulations. Federal grade converters are not legal in CARB states for most vehicles.
- Installation expectations: Both are direct-fit and include mandrel-bent tubing and stainless steel construction. You can install them with basic hand tools; no cutting or welding required.
