Everything went well. There was a small exhaust leak, although new gaskets were used on all three joints, but after a week of riding it was tightened up again and I'm pretty sure it's fixed. I wrapped it in titanium foil but was still able to get all the factory heat shields back except for a couple of gaps. I bought this because my factory unit had a crack but had struggled with CEL for years and the dealer sued the cat. Converter. I haven't had any codes since installing it. The dealer said this aftermarket won't last long so we'll see. Basically I am satisfied with the product. Before that I went to Subaru Outback 2.5 liters. 2007. with 195 thousand miles. I am Teresa's husband. She helped with the Titan film.
