how good is it though? and where u get it? whats the result? I guess I'll just get a y pipe and a cat and put them on at the same time. I dont want that nasty junk in between the y pipe and my exhaust.

the pic just looks like a resonator not a full cat. Could be why it is called a stainless steel converter, not a stainless steel CATALYTIC converter. Sometimes the e-bay wording can be shifty. Full normal looking cat is wider than shown in pic, just look under your car and you will notice. The pic used could also just be a pic used for each converter they sell too. Just do your research.

Also the 95, and 96 (which I have, a '96) need the hole for the O2 sensor in the actuall cat itself. Ask questions before buying.

My experience with aftermarket cats has been horrible. Random Tech cat broke down, as many on the orgs has and I replaced with an OEM like cat which is already breaking down. I am now going to gut the stone from the inside of the cat and straight pipe it. Use this info and weigh pros and cons to what others say.
