WHERE TO BUY

Open an exact listing, then confirm fitment, stock, price, and shipping with the seller before ordering.

Seller links checked . Prices and availability can change.

What you need to know

Separate NA6/NA8 and NB1/NB2, OBD-I/OBD-II, upstream/downstream position, and emissions label. The 1999-2000 California layout can include a primary converter at the manifold plus a downstream converter; 2001-2005 header/EGR/O2 layout differs. Mazdaspeed is excluded.

OEM numbers

Representative checked exact references include MagnaFlow federal 51597 and California 441771Mazda front oxygen sensor BP4X-18-861A-9Uand Moss product families 902-650 and 909-812. No universal converter or sensor number is claimed.

Supersession

No OEM supersession chain is claimed. California converter legality is controlled by the exact current CARB Executive Order application and vehicle test group, not a generic cross-reference.

Fitment

Separate NA6/NA8 and NB1/NB2, OBD-I/OBD-II, upstream/downstream position, and emissions label. The 1999-2000 California layout can include a primary converter at the manifold plus a downstream converter; 2001-2005 header/EGR/O2 layout differs. Mazdaspeed is excluded.

Aftermarket options

Use an exact direct-fit sensor/converter only after checking emissions label, engine, position, and legal jurisdiction. Exhaust leaks can imitate sensor or catalyst faults; repair the failure cause before replacing a converter.

Before you buy

Emissions legality depends on registration state, underhood emissions label/test group, exact converter, and current law. Federal wording is not California approval. A seller cart is not guaranteed inventory, and no race header is presented as street legal.
