Title: OK - As Far As It Goes
Product review: I had to replace the catalytic converter on a '97 Civic because I was getting a Cat error code, and the car is coming due for inspection. The original was one piece with the exhaust manifold, but this replacement comes in two pieces: manifold and converter. The problem is I did not receive gaskets for these two joints. There should be a large one between the cat and the manifold, and another between the cat and the exhaust pipe. I improvised with copper spray "recommended for exhaust manifolds" and some high temp silicone gasket material. I'll see how long it holds up.The car was already apart when I realized that I didn't have those gaskets, and my son has to use it for work in a couple of days, so ordering gaskets was not an option.It doesn't matter how good the part is if I can't install it.On the plus side, I did receive about a dozen bolts and miscellaneous pieces that are not necessary.
