The purpose of any MagnaFlow catalytic converter is to  reduce harmful emissions from the exhaust of a "properly  tuned" combustion engine. It accomplishes this through a  combination of heat and a precious metal catalyst that  causes the harmful emissions to either oxidize or reduce to  safe elements in the exhaust flow. If the engine is out of  tune and not calibrated to OEM specs, the MagnaFlow  converters efficiency is greatly diminished and could lead  to a converter failure. The precious metal catalyst is bound  to an extruded ceramic honeycomb substrate. The ceramic has  hundreds of flow channels that allow the exhaust gasses to  come in contact with a maximum amount of surface area where  the catalyst reaction takes place. The catalyst must come in  direct contact with the exhaust gasses for the reaction to  take place. If the ceramic inside your MagnaFlow converter  becomes clogged or coated with carbon, lead or oil, then the  converters efficiency is greatly reduced.
