Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I want to sincerely apologize for the frustration this situation has caused you, especially with the unexpected vehicle downtime and the confusion around the part quality. Your feedback regarding the weld quality and performance of the catalytic converter is deeply concerning, and I completely understand why this has left you disappointed. This is not the experience we aim to provide, especially when it comes to parts advertised as OEM replacements. While the part you received does match the fitment listed for your vehicle, we’ve noted that the emissions configuration (California Emission, 3-converter system) may have played a role in the installation or performance issue. We’re currently reviewing this with our product team to ensure there is better clarity on compatibility details moving forward. We also want to assure you that this specific SKU has had no recent returns or known defects reported, which makes your case all the more important for us to investigate. I escalate your feedback internally for further review and submitted it to our supplier for evaluation. In the meantime, I’d like to help get this resolved for you. If you haven’t already, please let us know if you’d like assistance with a return, replacement, or if you'd prefer a different brand moving forward.
