New Converter Installed392 viewsThis is how it looks in the finished installation. Not much of a converter, is it? Supposedly it is fully legal, according to the company. It passes emissions no problem. But I think if someone actually looked at this during an inspection, I could run into trouble. I lost low end torque after this installation, but gained more power at higher rpms. I would have gone with a GM part but the price was ludicrous.

Old converter, original OEM installation403 viewsThis shows what the original converter looked like as it was installed. I changed this because all the insides were loose and rattled around. It didn't hurt the performance of the car, but it drove me crazy. The car sounded like a piece of junk.
Exhaust system removed from vehicle423 viewsThis is the original exhaust system removed from the car. It is all welded together in one piece. This system was still very good even being 12 years old.
