Review on Pacesetter 201090 Catalytic Converter Radiator by Daniel Russell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Perfect OEM replacement. Broke again within 1.5 years

Perfect fit, all flanges align, OEM heat shield can be fitted easily. After installing, my Service Engine advert disappeared. I fixed code P0430: Catalyst Heating Efficiency Below Threshold, Bank 2. Installation is a bit of an issue with all those rusty nuts and bolts, I used an air gun, it started a fire when I turned the nut. With bare hands, you'll likely need a solvent to remove rust and muscle. I put in the two studs that connect the old catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold, very tight nuts, but other than that it's a perfect replacement and does the job. UPDATE 1.5 years later: Cat is out and P0430 is back. Still within the 2 year warranty, Pacesetter asked me to run through Revain, but from previous experience claiming Revain's auto parts warranty is like talking to a brick wall.

Pros
  • Trial period for one year
Cons
  • Only available in white
