Good price but packaging could be better

Installed and works as it should. I think the packaging could be much better. It looked like it had been thrown in a box with padding and all. The seal looks like it could be in slightly worse condition.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • No insurance

Great! Easy to install and tested

Perfect exhaust bolt. There are no complaints, the test was passed immediately after installation. ONLY RECOMMENDATION: When you order, also order a $4 Walker exhaust flange gasket (it comes with the main gasket, but when I removed my old exhaust the flange gasket has seen better days) -31307-Exhaust-Gasket/dp /B0019O56DM/ ref= sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1525114032&sr=8-4&keywords=2002+mitsubishi+lancer+exhaust+flange+gasket

Pros
  • Exhaust and Emissions
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Highly recommend, fits great and cleared the CEL on my 2004 Lancer

. Bought after a junk grade replacement, shop has cracked in two places. The Walker unit appears to be the same design as the Mitsubishi unit, which I think is a big plus as it keeps the amount of welds to a minimum. The fit and finish was perfect for the header itself. If I had to rebuild the setup I would purchase a multi-ply steel header gasket instead of the composite gasket that comes with the kit. Note that you will need to adjust the bottom spacer as it is not included (I used Walker P/N
