Review on Walker 16467 Direct Catalytic Converter by Evan Hernandez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy this, do it yourself and save about $1,000 for three hours of work.

My check engine light came on because of the right hand catalytic converter. I kept getting offers around $1400 for a replacement transducer and O2 sensors. The transducer, two sensors and o-ring cost less than $400 on the Revain, so I decided to do it myself as there are only 7 screws to remove. It took a long time but I did it in three hours. There are some bottlenecks and they are annoying but worth it. All you need are 13mm, 14mm, 15mm and 22mm wrenches, wrench spray liquid, a light or two for the floor, safety goggles, a mask (dust/metal particles fall on you), soft work gloves, a safe way to lift the car, parts and nuts and bolts listed below. You DO NOT NEED an O2 sensor puller. Just use a 22mm wrench. Reason I left 4 stars and not 5. The "direct match" claim is misleading. You need to buy machine screws and nuts. The nuts and bolts I removed do not fit this converter. I had to buy (4) 10x1.25 bolts and (8) 10x1.25 nuts.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Low serviceability
