2002 (2002-2005) Camry Good Fit

This is the primary catalytic converter which is located on the exhaust manifold. On most models, the post-catalyst is located in the middle of the exhaust system. It was the perfect fit for my 2002 Camry. Removal and installation took me about 2.5 hours. I would give 5 stars if I could use the OEM heat shields. It has its own heat shield, which is fine, but I don't find it as functional as the original. After installation you will notice smoke in the engine compartment, this is a short-lived…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • There are some problems

Typical after-sales approach!

The box arrived as if it had been dragged behind a truck. Whoever packed the box bent the flange gasket to the width of the box instead of just shifting it lengthwise, and the manifold gasket was MIA. The part fits the head and header well, but the bottom bracket mounting hole on the passenger side is shaped at the wrong angle and the bolt hole is cut crooked. It takes a little bit of grinding to align the strut in the right place. The part does not come with new studs on the manifold. A total…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Low maintainability

Perfect fit - just like they said!

Okay, I'll start by saying I'm not a mechanic. I bought this for my 2002 Toyota Camry which had a check engine light and failed MOT. The cat arrived quickly and in good condition. Both seals were included, so I saved some money. It looked just like the original in my car. The old goes out, the new in. After 100 km the check engine light goes out and I passed the TÜV. This costs about 40% of the cost of a real Toyota. I'm not sure if it will last that long but I won't be keeping this car for…

Pros
  • Always liked it
Cons
  • Too long to wait

Hidden costs that could have been avoided

I unpacked the catalytic converter from the box and found that at the bottom of the box an exhaust gasket from the catalytic converter was crushed and unusable. Why the supplier didn't put the pad in the bag and taped it to the inside of the box to keep it from crushing I don't know. Due to supplier laziness, I had to go to my local parts store and spend $20 on a Felpro gasket. I have seen other reviews here where this is not an isolated case. I also had to buy a nozzle for the 02 gauge as the…

  • Outstanding performance

Exceptional customer service Revain

This is my third Walker to fit my Toyota vehicles and I am very happy with this product. There was a special case of warranty service this time, and Revain simply shines in that aspect. I installed CATC back in June 2013 on my 2003 Camry at a qualified auto repair shop, but the release failed in May 2018! I registered this with Tenneco, the original manufacturer of Walker exhaust products, back in 2013. So I contacted her. I guess they just hit me and took me back to the 'dealer' where I bought

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • May be damaged

*IMPORTANT* Please read!

Good. I bought this Walker 16384 Cat/Manifold for my 2006 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. According to Revain Computer System and Customer Service, this item had to be fully compatible and an exact fit. INCORRECT! I can not tell you what a terrible ordeal this object has caused me And disinformation! This part will NOT fit and will NOT fit or is not made for my car (2006 Toyota Camry - 4 cylinder)! I delivered this part to my mechanic (fully licensed and 100% legal) and after he removed the old and…

  • Makes you happy
