DNA MOTORING Factory Style Catalytic Converter Exhaust Y-Pipe Compatible with 02-05 Escalade Avalanche 1500 4.3 4.8 5.3L, OEM-CONV-001

Want to write review after reading all the reviews. As for fitment it is on an 05 Tahoe. Most reviews I read was that didn’t fit right or the placement of the o2 bungs. As for mine the fitment was perfect and the o2 bungs were in the exact location of my factory ones. The only complaint if any would be the doughnut gasket on the passenger side. It does not have the metal insert like the oem which makes for easy installation. Not big deal as new one is $8. Also for piece of mind I recommend using aluminum exhaust tape on the joint and purchase a SS band clamp in place of the supplied clamp for a sealed strong joint. And for installation please know and be aware that you WILL need to drop the transmission crossmember down on the passenger side to get that side in. Other than that easy installation and definitely recommend

I bought this Catalytic Converter to replace the 19 year old one on my 2003 tahoe. About 6 months after install truck developed a random misfire. Truck would only misfire when under a heavy load. If you pulled over and turned the car off-misfire gone. I paid to have a tuneup done hoping that would fix the misfire. But no luck. Since the only code the truck would throw was a p0300 code..which is just a generic random misfire code, the misfire was very hard to isolate..Paid more money to mechanics, who finally narrowed it down to something emissions related. But it was gonna cost a ton more money to verify exactly what so we just drove the truck "gently". We moved a few months ago from Alabama to Idaho, and I had to rent a car hauler to tow the vehicle 1900 miles. So after arriving in Idaho, the truck started pulling another code-P0430 catalyst system low-efficiency bank 2. Had the mechanic here verify it was the Cats by replacing the 02 sensor on that bank. Mechanic said it's the catalytic converter that's been causing the misfire. I emailed the manufacturer and asked very nicely if they would be willing to send a replacement. They replied that since it was purchased through Amazon I would have to go through Amazon. Amazon said their was only a 30 day warranty, and suggested I talk to the manufacturer. So after going back to the manufacturer to politely ask one more time for a simple replacement- not even bothering to ask for any other compensation for the expense and headache, they didnt even respond to my email. You see, the thing is, you aren't limited to what Amazon says. If you stand behind your product, you stand behind your product. The Original Catalytic Converter lasted 19 years. This one I barely got 6 months out of. A 30 day warranty on a catalytic converter is garbage. This isnt a part you should have to replace every year. Much less every month. I would spend my $ elsewhere. I.understand manufacturing defects. I would be willing to give a much higher rating if the Manufacturer would send another one. Defects are defects. But I shouldn't have to buy another catalytic converter bc the one I bough went bad with less than 7,000 miles on it. The original got 150,000.

Excellent product! Easy to install! Very good price! Fits perfectly, and much quieter!

Does fit the 07-08 split year with 4x4, it’s actually not bad, pretty good quality and the welds were pretty good also, the cats are not terribleFor the price either. Was easy to install, you have to install the passenger side first witch required removal of the crossmember, and the driver side wasn’t bad at all, just remember to tighten them together loosely before actually tightening everything down snug. The gaskets worked well and it didn’t leak on the first try. So far 200 miles on it and it’s working fine. If it craps out I’ll change my review.

Does not come with the bolts on the exhaust manifold side. The factory bolts are welded to the flange, so that being said you'll need to buy 3 bolts and use the factory nuts. It does come with the gaskets and two back bolts and two nuts on the other end of the exhaust. I also had to bend the exhaust bracket a little to drop the exhaust out them bent it back using a ball hammer because I couldn't get a socket on the bolt. This part was a good fit for a 2013 Equinox.Update:after 3 months the check engine light came back on for the cat. I purchased a warrant for this part & bought same one 3 months later and check engine light came back on. I discussed this with a mechanic & he advised me that these after market ones don’t have as much platinum in them, He also said that these are just to get the check engine light off to pass inspection then to sell the car to someone else. That being said I wouldn’t buy these cheap ones unless your just trying to pawn the car off on someone else.
