This catalytic converter appears to be well built and of good quality materials. I have not been able to install the converter yet. But the ease of installation looks straightforward on my 2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 so it won't take very long. The converter comes with new gaskets and nuts. A very good value.

Cheap alternative to the local parts house.Working as a mechanic I've replace many converters over the years and have learned that price typically equals useful life. If you just need a couple more years use out of your car go with a cheap cat to get you through your emission test, plan on keeping it for a long time, I would suggest going with o.e. or a premium replacement part.

this kit is a solid option if you’re working on a Chevy or Buick with the 1.4T engine because it comes with the gasket included and the fitment lines up cleanly with the Encore Trax and similar models from the 2013 to 2018 range, and the welds and overall build feel sturdy right out of the box which is important when you’re replacing a factory converter on these small turbo engines. The installation is pretty straightforward if you’ve done exhaust work before since the bolt holes match up well and the kit seals tightly once everything is torqued down, and being EPA compliant makes it a reliable replacement for states that don’t require CARB parts. Once installed it helps clear up exhaust restriction issues and gets rid of the rattling or sulfur smell that shows up when the old converter starts failing, making it a dependable choice for restoring performance without paying dealership prices.
