I needed to replace the two-cat combo on my 03 Ranger. The old one was leaking and noisy. This one filled the bill. Good fit, albeit not perfect, the hanger rod needed to be bent a little to easily fit into the rubber bushing. But… it was not a deal breaker. I also bought a new O2 sensor, rather than reuse the old one and have problems later. All in all… good purchase!

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.
