      Fit like stock. Will need a manifold to converter pipe gasket and a clamp at the midpipe connection. Due to rust we had to cut the rear pipe after the old cat pipe connection and use a sleeve to connect the pipes. Fit well and seems like a well made part. Time will tell. The price was ok.

      By Jetta Guy

      From Spokane, WA

      Soon after my Malfunction Indicating Lamp (MIL) came on I began looking into the cause, dreading the possibility of once again replacing the Catalytic Converter as these can be fairly expensive and put a vehicle out of commission for a day or more. I began shopping for a replacement converter and place to install it only to confirm my fears; this would be expensive. I found the Walker Catalytic Converter that came as a complete unit and did not require any welding and was much more cost effective and has proven itself to be a trustworhty brand for OEM parts. When I compared it to the assembly that was already on the car, it matched up perfectly. This product was easy to install and saved me a lot of time and money and still performs to my expectations. IMPORTANT INFO YOU WILL NEED A NEW GASKET AND EXHAUST PIPE CONNECTOR WHEN YOU USE THIS OR A SIMILAR PRODUCT.

      The converter is nicely made, it welded in very well and was a good fit. It cleared my code for down steam 02 sensor. I can't say anything but good about it but need to see how long it lasts for a solid opinion. Magnaflow offers a heavy metal version that has better catalyst that may be a better choice for longevity. I did not know this before I bought and installed mine.
