Review on πŸš— AUTOSAVER88 3-Inch Inlet/Outlet Universal Catalytic Converter with Heat Shield (EPA Compliant) by Troy Henkhaus

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Lucky for me

I will not talk about the experience of others with this product. Only my. The reason I bought this is because it claimed to be able to handle engines up to 5.9L. My engine is a 3.8L GM. I cut out the old catalytic converter and welded this in. Of course, I knew from the beginning that I had to modify it so that it was in the same place as the old converter. 10 psi to check my welds for leaks. After reinstalling the exhaust system in the car and extensive test drives, I found this converter to be inferior to the original one that I had cut out. I installed new O2 sensors and rechecked the exhaust system for leaks from the manifold to the rear O2 sensor and found none. In my experience, this is definitely a time or two when you get what you pay for. Never buy anything like that again. In the end the new converter was scrapped and replaced with a complete OEM style converter tube. ********** Update ************** After I wrote the above review, the seller or agent contacted me and immediately offered a replacement. Of course as I had already gone and replaced the entire system from the exhaust manifold to the exhaust pipes I didn't need a replacement and I just told them it wasn't a problem and I'd bite the bullet as it really isn't. it's expensive to start with. I received a full refund with no hesitation, no questions asked. While this experience wasn't the best I've had with Revain, I would definitely say that this seller/company not only stands by the products they sell but also provides very good customer service. This alone will make me consider them when purchasing parts in the future.
