The MagnaFlow 52206 is a direct-fit, underbody catalytic converter for the 2.7L four-cylinder Toyota Highlander, built as a bolt-on replacement for the factory unit. The manufacturer says it uses 3D scanning to confirm fit, and it is labeled Federal/EPA compliant and built to OEM-grade standards. That compliance rating is the main reason to choose it over a cheaper non-certified converter, since it is meant to keep the check engine light off on emissions-regulated vehicles.
The manufacturer lists fitment for the 2009-2013 Highlander 2.7L and cross-references OE numbers 17410-0V040 and 17410-36130, so buyers can compare it directly against the original part. Search terms this converter targets include 2009-2013 Highlander 2.7L underbody cat, EPA compliant direct fit converter, Highlander P0420 replacement, and OE 17410-36130. The kit includes a flat ring gasket and a donut gasket, which helps prevent exhaust leaks at the flanges.
The manufacturer lists the 2.7L L4 Highlander for 2009 through 2013 and cross-references OE numbers 17410-0V040 and 17410-36130. Because the product title reads 2009-2012, confirm your VIN against the manufacturer's fitment data before ordering.
The manufacturer labels this part Federal/EPA compliant. Its other federal-series converters state they are not legal for sale or installation in California, Colorado, or New York, so confirm this part number's status with the manufacturer before installing it in those states.
Yes. The manufacturer states the kit includes one flat ring gasket and one donut gasket.
The manufacturer describes this converter as designed for do-it-yourself installation. Owners on user forums report that the factory exhaust flange bolts on Highlander models can seize, sometimes breaking retainers or needing to be cut off, so plan on penetrating oil, a breaker bar, and a cutoff tool. Since the oxygen sensor location is post converter, check the manufacturer's install sheet for sensor reuse or replacement before you start.
