Review on πŸš— Highly Compatible AUTOSAVER88 Catalytic Converter for 2009-2017 GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse, Saturn Outlook 3.6L RADIATOR Side/Bank 2 (EPA Compliant) by Leonard Herrera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

worked well on my 10 year old Acadia

I'll update my original review below. The truck only lasted 3-4 days of normal use before a catalytic efficiency DTC P0420 showed up. This is complex and time consuming code to diagnose properly. You need a professional diagnostician. My third photo is the leak we found at the output of the converter with the gasket provided. The new front converter also leaks at the output seal. We will fix these leaks and see if the code comes up again. I'm not sure if the problem is with the gaskets or the corners of the converter flanges which could be the problem. No matter how you look at it, it's not cool. I will update again when the code comes back. I installed Autosaver88 catalytic converters front and rear on my 2010 Acadia AWD. They both fit very well. You will need 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolts, nuts and washers to connect the adapter tube. The supplied fasteners are well suited for screwing to the manifold. All the included pads work well. Don't forget the extra adapter pipe gasket if you remove it for installation. I had rollator #31652. I wouldn't call this a do-it-yourself job unless you have access to a lift and a good set of automotive tools. I'm skeptical of aftermarket catalytic converters but this truck passed the emissions readiness test in 3 short drive cycles as expected. If they don't fail in the near future then this is a fantastic deal.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No insurance
