Very good for the price

Well when I arrived I received a product that is very well made and fits my 00 Civic Ex perfectly BUT it does not come with a rebolt bolt for your cat which I am buying two spring bolts for had to front and 3 for the rear 02 sensor connector was very tight but it still fit and definitely disabled my CEL.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
  • ---

No heat shield? - Exhaust & Emissions

Unlike the picture, the cats supplied were supplied without heat shields. Catalytic converters need to be hot to work and generate more heat when they work. Without heat shields it would take too long for them to reach temperatures, this could for example burn the car floor or possibly start a fire if over a combustible material. dry grass.

Pros
  • Permanent finish
Cons
  • Something different

Excellent replacement converter

Installed on a 1999 Honda Civic. There was no catalytic converter and it was an inexpensive solution to reducing in-car noise and making it legal. The product comes with O-rings, O-rings and double-hole graphite gaskets. to shear off rusty bolts when later maintenance is required.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Appearance

Should be called Magna-Failure

I bought this in fall 2018. The P420 code was issued as of September 2019. Customer service had me take a picture to see if it was burned or scorched. It wasn't, but it wasn't enough. They wanted it removed and sent to them for the "lab boys" to examine. I would have to wait without a car until the almighty boys would bless it with a broken one and send a new one. Stop it, let me go, I've had enough.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • nothing

Fits perfectly! - Catalytic Converters

Delivered quickly and matched our former 2000 Honda Civic Sedan perfectly. Code P0420 is gone and the car is purring like a kitten again. I just installed it so I can't give a durability rating. Just a word of warning, if you're planning on doing it yourself, our 18-year-old catalytic converter didn't come off without a fight. So take a good look at all those rusty little fasteners and see if you have the tools and patience for the job. Fair price.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Control and shoot an unprotected cat. NOT COOL!

Attention, this catalytic converter is 180 degrees out of phase with the original catalytic converter (98 Civic EX). In doing so, it places the O2 probe without ground/road protection while driving. Pinched wires and a bent sensor are sure to cause your vehicle to read O2 sensor trouble codes. .which robs you of fuel economy as the car's computer cannot calculate the correct air-fuel mixture. I recommend doing your research to find a coil/or straight tube that will NOT expose your downstream O2

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Upgrades
