Perfect for exhaust and emissions

I have a 2009 Kia Specta with manual transmission. The original lets go of the flexible tube. I recommend this solution.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Well built never used as the car was assembled

well built never used as the car was fully assembled. I don't know how well it would fit, but it looked just like the original

Don't buy it for less than .

Don't buy it, it's been running for less than a year and the braid has already fallen apart. Amazon will not do anything to replace it. Buy parts locally.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Modernity

Fits 2005 Kia Spectra5

I installed this on a 2005 Kia Spectra5 because the original flex pipe was leaking. I could not find a part number for this car in either the Walker catalog or parts stores. I believe this part number was listed for 2006+ Spectra/Spectra5. Anyway, it fits snugly and has worked well so far (about 6 months). I couldn't find any gaskets either, but the original gaskets were in good condition to be reused and were not leaking.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • unreliable

NOT FOR KIA "S in spares

does not fit my KIA range as advertised, KIA and Hyundai use the same engine but have different exhaust manifolds, Amazon assumes the engine should work the same. It should fit The hyundai.kia manifold unlike hyndai has a built in catalytic converter so the 90 degree flange must fit the bottom of the hyndai manifold product

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Having problems

Works perfectly! on replacement parts

Installs with no issues. (takes off the old pipe. That was the problem now) Too bad it came with a clamp securing it to the engine. (None of them do. They say use the original. Almost nothing left.) Just got by without. Passed the inspection with no problems.

Pros
  • ORIGINAL STYLE PERFORMANCE - Straightforward design tested to ensure precise fit that performs like Original Equipment
Cons
  • Not sure

NOT FOR KIA "Best in Parts "

does not fit my KIA range as stated, KIA and Hyundai use the same engine but have different ones Exhaust manifold , Amazon assumes the same engine should work. It should fit Hyundai. The Kia header has a built in catalytic converter while the Hyundai does not have one so the 90 degree flange needs to fit on the bottom of the Hyndai header, the Kia header/cat goes further down and is already rotating under the engine, eliminating the need/use of a 90 degree rotation on this product

Pros
  • CORROSION RESISTANT -- Heavy duty aluminized steel construction for corrosion resistance and performance
Cons
  • Not the best

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad for the price.

Okay so I'll do my best to give an objective review. I'll start with the positive things. First, it fits my car perfectly. I didn't have to fiddle with anything or make any adjustments to make it fit. The O2 sensor port fits perfectly and my car runs just as smooth as it did before my exhaust leak. My old one had a leak in the flex pipe (apparently a common thing with many exhaust systems). The last plus is that it was really cheap. It was a quarter of the OEM price so I saved a lot of moneyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION -- Manufactured with precision OE style bends and rails, hangers and connectors for easy installation (where applicable)
Cons
  • Not everything fits
