The Worst Automotive Purchase Ever

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can assure you that this exhaust component is a total waste of time and money .The pros? None. i couldn't find any redeeming qualities in this product. On the other hand, the cons are numerous. It doesn't fit properly, it doesnt work, and it even corrodes quickly. The Walker 16490 Catalytic Converter is a disaster waiting to happen. Zero stars..

Pros
  • Increases fuel efficiency and engine performance.
Cons
  • May fail prematurely if not installed properly or if the vehicle has underlying mechanical issues.

Lincoln MKX 2007 Perfect Fit

Lincoln MKX 2007 Perfect fit and relatively easy to install. Had to reuse back/bottom pads (not included). The only real difficulty was that the two rear/bottom flange fasteners were pressed into the original cat's flange (no new hardware). Once you take them out to reuse them, the holes in the new flange are too big for the splines. It's fine if you're even slightly mechanically inclined.

Pros
  • Exhaust and Emissions
Cons
  • Reliability
