Disappointing Performance

When I tried this automotive replacement part, it failed to meet my expectations. While it promises to be a cost-effective solution for emissions control it only delivered subpar performance.The installation process was also complicated, resulting in additional expenses for professional installation..

Pros
  • Cost-effective option
Cons
  • Poor performance, complicated installation

Good fit, note a few things

Great fit and comparable to the original. My problem stems from the fact that it showed up with three separate shipping stickers/tags/plastic wrap bags stuck to it. Before installation, I had to take a thinner and a scraper. Then, after installation, stand there while it idles and watch it smoke from the remnants I couldn't tear down. Also, the three-bolt flange that connects to the manifold isn't threaded like it comes from the factory, so you'll need a nut and bolt combination. Also, you will

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
