Price Paid:  $99.00 from A1 muffler

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 Honda Odyssey Direct-fit 99345HM

Strengths:
No check engine light

Weaknesses:
Needs to be welded in

Summary:
I had a lot of problems with finding a converter to work. This was the third one after trying a Catco and Eastern part. For some reason these could not keep the check engine light off. I was told to put back an original factory part but i did not have another $600. I wanted a Magnaflow direct-fit but no one had it. I was happy to find out that this converter works right but needed some welding.

2003 Magnaflow Direct FIt #30805

Strengths:
Dont know it was never installed.

Weaknesses:
It was not constructed to fit my application.

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

Weaknesses:
N/A

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:
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:
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:
Very good performance! Less emission.

Weaknesses:
Did not experience any weakness yet.

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!
