Pros
  • Exhaust and Emissions
Cons
  • Reliability

  • Catalytic converters and spare parts

The heat shield welded to the converter covered 2 of the bolt holes so it required more bending just to get the bolts in place. Even after that I couldn't get the bushing onto the screw heads to tighten properly so I…

  • Catalytic Converters
