A-Premium Exhaust Manifold Catalytic Converter W/Gasket Kit Direct-Fit Compatible with Honda Civic & Acura EL 2001-2005 L4 1.7L, Front Side - EPA Compliant

The media could not be loaded. The two springs are a bit long so you can use channel locks to grab and squeeze it hard enough to use your other hand to put the spring and bolt in the tread just barely enough to get the tip in ! Then use your ratchet from there

I had engine light on and I went to auto zone and they told me I need to replace the catalytic converter but in the dealership could cost me $2800 but I change it myself with this one in 2 hours and went to the emission test after installing and I pass!!

It fits but there's a large incomplete weld for cylinder 2 which obviously creates an exhaust leak. An exhaust leak in the engine bay will allow the hvac system to suck up the fumes and pump it into the cabin. Exhaust fumes in the cabin could cause a person to pass out behind the wheel possibly creating a deadly situation. I could smell it in mine and have had to ride with my windows down until I had time to find the leak.If you buy it, just make sure you take the heat shield off and inspect it before you install it.

Took some work to install this

Had this installed today , everything fits perfectly like the one from the dealer. No more exhaust leak , engine feels stronger and hopefully I’ll consume less gas. No more check engine light. I’ll keep posting as time goes on to see if this product holds it’s quality.

my experience has been that Honda Civics are very finicky when it comes to using aftermarket parts. I've Also heard nightmare stories about cats in this price range are not working due to their inability you be properly installed. This cat However so far looks like it's going to workout Just fine. For the money it's pretty high quality easy to install,, and the shipping Was more than adequate. I'm impressed and would recommend this to anyone looking to replace their catalytic converter on a Honda Civic.

We purchased this item as we thought it was a good deal. We found out recently that’s it’s cracked already and needs replaced. We’ve had this item less than 7 months!
