Good but has minor flaws

The converter was fine and passed smog, but the bottom three pins didn't have the same threads as my original converter. The converter I bought didn't have nuts and had a different thread. I had to use my original nuts to tighten the converter and it bolted the threads. I would suggest they provide some nuts to match the bolts in their products.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Catalyst Walker 82444 CalKat.

Direct fit in terms of bolt placement but as mentioned the bolts in the bottom flange are not OEM. Original 10x1.25. That's 10x1.5. The cost of 4 nuts and a short bolt (also to attach the bottom flange to the block) is easy to bear considering the price difference between this and the OEM. I was able to reuse the studs. I just didn't want to look for nuts with an 8x1.25 flange. Still, it would be nice if there was a full set. Mine came with a gasket, a manifold cover, and two screws for that…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • So-so

Made for my Honda Civic 2000 ex

I've just fitted it to the car I'll have to see how good this United is but I've found a few flaws in the design. not exactly fitting for people like me, check the reviews but we only know a bit too late, the bolts on this product, they are weak points, they are not bolts, tack weld flat bolts, twist if you try tie nuts. The flange isn't perfectly flat, the mounting screw is nothing special, so you lose the original mounting screws, need a new one with a long and flat head, a pressure washer…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
