Easy Fix for My Car's Emissions

My analysis of this product showed that IT was a perfect replacement for my old catalytic converter. The installation was simple and it fits perfectly .The car runs smoothly, and emissions have significantly improved. The only downside was the price, but I believe its worth the investment to maintain my car's automotive health..

Pros
  • Improves exhaust gas flow, leading to increased engine performance.
Cons
  • Does not meet emissions standards in some states and may result in fines if installed.

Great price, fake Cat model

CAUTION! Revain calls this cat a direct replacement for the right-handed Pontiac G6 cat. However, this only applies to the Chevy Malibu app. It fits and bolts correctly to the exhaust manifold and adapter pipe, but the exit flange is a completely different size than the mating resonator. Lesson Learned: Always check the manufacturer's electronic catalog to ensure the part number you are ordering is correct. for your car!

Pros
  • OE-STYLE-DESIGN -- Original with aluminum heat shields in OE design to protect the underbody from converter heat
Cons
  • Small parts
