Why Recycle with MagnaFlow?
As a national leader in producing aftermarket catalytic converters, we rely on three precious metals to help us create new product: Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium.
Our refunds program preserves precious metals resources by extracting these materials from old converters to be reintroduced into our supply chain. To express our gratitude for helping us create more sustainable products, we’ll pass on a portion of the precious metals value to you in the form of a MagnaFlow Visa® Prepaid Card. After installation of your new replacement part, simply ship us your old OEM part at no cost!*
To offer the best refund possible, the MagnaFlow Recycling for Refunds program is valid ONLY for qualifying OEM catalytic converters. For more info, please see our FAQ.
I purchased my part a while ago, but I still have my OEM converter and a receipt. Can I still participate?
No problem! Please fill out the "Create Account" form fields at the top of this page.
How can I tell if my converter is eligible?
To qualify, converters must be OEM and most of the ceramic “brick” must still be inside of the metal body. For all eligibility requirements, see our Eligibility Guidelines.
What is the status of my recycling refund?
You will receive your refund within 4-6 weeks of your returned converter being received at our facility. Refunds will be issued in the form of a MagnaFlow Visa® Prepaid Card and mailed to your indicated address.
What is PGM?
PGM stands for Platinum Group Metals. Catalytic Converters contain 3 Platinum Group Metals: Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium. MagnaFlow recycles these metals and uses them to make new catalytic converters.
How much is my old converter worth?
The value depends on PGM content of the converter which is determined by year, make, and model of the vehicle it applies to, as well as the current market values of PGM. You can check to see the amount of your refund by entering your part number in the MagnaFlow Account Page.
How long does it take to receive my refund?
4-6 weeks from the time we receive your package.
What if my converter has multiple bodies? Do I get additional refunds?
No, every MagnaFlow replacement part purchased qualifies for 1 refund.
Why can’t I receive my recycling refund instantly?
Due to the nature of catalytic converters and how they are used, all parts need to be inspected and qualified prior to issuing a refund.
When is the value of my old converter calculated?
Value is based on PGM market price at the time you decide to send us your old converter. MagnaFlow will determine the price refunded to you at the time you opt-in to the program.
How will these recycled converters be used?
MagnaFlow uses state-of-the-art recycling processes to reclaim the precious metals from old catalytic converters for use in the manufacturing of new converters, reducing the need to further deplete the Earth of these limited resources.
