Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Magnaflow Direct FIt #30805

Summary:
I purchased this part as a direct fit replacement for my 2003 Nissan Altima. When it arrived it wouldn't fit on my vehicle, although it was and still is supposed to fit on it.
When it was returned I was charged a restocking fee even though it was the manufacturer's fault not mine, actually to this day I not received my refund yet. Never order any products from Bandit Exhaust (Julio Ramirez, Owner)

Strengths:
Dont know it was never installed.

Weaknesses:
It was not constructed to fit my application.

Similar Products Used:
Bosal Direct Fit was a perfect fit.

Summary:
A very safe purchase. Offered $50 on eBay, seller agreed. I couldn't be more satisfied with the performance. I also passed emissions with flying colors (my car is directly imported from Japan). I would HIGHLY recommend this cat to anyone and everyone.

Strengths:
None to little power gain and still stays within emissions standards

Weaknesses:
N/A

Similar Products Used:
Meagan Test Pipe (very poor performance and wouldn't give it to my enemy's)

Summary:
Got the cat-converter to open up my exhaust more, and very well increased my exhuast flow...I have afermarket headers and cat-back system, and this gave me at least 1-3 hp easy....great buy to help your car breath better and compliment your aftermarket exhaust...

Strengths:
Great buy to increase exhast flow....incresed 1-3 hp

Weaknesses:
NOT A BOLT ON...NEEDS TO BE WELDED ON AND A CUSTOM 02 SENSOR INLET WILL NEED TO BE FORMED...

Summary:
I needed to replace my catalytic converter a couple of months ago and I asked my friend on what specific brand does he recommend for my cat. He suggested to try this brand. Purchased it right away at autopartswarehouse.com and installed it on my car. After that I've experience good performance on my truck and less emission, which for me is a good thing since it reduces air pollution. Really satisfied with it!

Strengths:
Very good performance! Less emission.

Weaknesses:
Did not experience any weakness yet.

Summary:
I was driving up a hill when i suddenly lost power. it felt like someone had a grab on the back of my car. NO ACCELERATION! so i went and got it checked out. catylitic converter was done for. so was my muffler and mid pipe. so i took it to certified brake and muffler. and had the cat converter put if and right away the power canme back and it sounded louder and more bad ass.. tomarrow i am getting a mid pipe and flowmaster 80 series put on. i have read many reviews on the muffler and everyone says it is the best. so hopefully i get better gas milage and more power and better sound.. i RECOMMEND certified breake and muffler(if you live in washington near kent or auburn). they do great work.

Strengths:
More power and better sound than stock

Weaknesses:
none!
