You order a catillitic converter. I spent four hundred on a metallic one and it looked the same as a fiftey dollar one off E-bay!

It is not what they look like, but what is inside of them.

No, I mean the craftsmanship was good, which is stainless steel and has a nice bracket to bolt up to the factory location. But the inside was not metallic at all. It looked like brown fiberglass. No metal catallists. And I saw the same one on ebay for fifty bucks without the bracket. It did not even look like the picture as advertised. In other words JUNK that someone bought off ebay and welded a bracket on and called it a day. I knew it did'nt look right on the inside and should have sent it back but it was Calif. legal too so I figured it was safe stuff! It was'nt China made either!
