Seems like a good unit. Included new gaskets for the heads and the tailpipe flange gasket and studs. My engine code has not returned since installation, about 500 miles on the pipe. Exhaust tone didn't not change. There are mounting tabs on the new pipe to reuse part of the heat shield from the original pipe. The only issue I had during installation was the pipes were about 3/4" wider than the head studs, so I had bend the new exhaust to be narrower. I did that with a wood block and a good hammer.
Glitch in the matrix, but they delivered.

Ordered all parts needed for catalytic converter and O2 sensor repair for 06 Outback. All parts direct fit. Shipment delayed due to some warehouse inventory snafu that they resolved in about a week, and when I called they were up front about it. I waited and the parts came. All correct, they are installed and fit. They even gave me the option to call me back when the call center was getting bombarded , and that was nice too. Overall, good. Using them again. Thanks.
Excellent Service and Product - I am thrilled !!!

My original 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5i (216,900 miles) failed the Colorado emissions test, high NOX. I found this replacement kit and ordered it - the delivery was perfect no-fuss-no-muss ... The pipes and Cat were exactly as advertised - a perfect match !!! I was even able to use all the original heat-shield covers on the pipes (minor trimming needed at the downstream end of Cat.). Old (failed) emissions numbers --> HC GPM 0.4837, CO GPM 4.5268, CO2 GPM 365.2634, NOX GPM 1.6995 NEW emissions numbers --> HC GPM 0.1291, CO GPM 0.8031, CO2 GPM 376.1182, NOX GPM 0.0923
Not Bad for the Money

Seems to be well made. The mechanic said that some modification was required to make it work. Did improve performance but heat shield rattles.
Avoid this hunk-o-junk

06 Outback 2.5 non-turbo. In short, save your money and buy one of the countless other replacement manifolds out there. If you are hoping that you will receive a manifold that is plug and play (no modification required, able to use factory heat shields), THIS IS NOT IT! I am not really satisfied with this product for the following reasons: 1. The flanges meant to mount your heat shield are superfluous and the holes are nowhere near where they should be IF you needed brackets to help mount the factory shields. In fact, the factory heat shield will not fit over this manifold without a lot of modification (bending, hammering, drilling). 2. The catalytic converter diameter and general dimensions of this manifold vary significantly from OEM. Even after the modifications to the heat shield listed above, you will still need to hose clamp the clamshell halves of the heat shield together to prevent rattling. 3. The finish (welding, grinding, polish) on this manifold is subpar. I found

So far so good. Old shields didnt fit too well but installed with a little work. Haven't had opportunity to put very many miles on yet, but so far no codes. It was installed after replacing heads and gaskets, so should be good for awhile. Bolted up perfectly.
Great quality for a really good price

Our parts are exact replacements for your vehicle's OEM parts and are built to the same quality standards. We do not have the specifications on the material, however, as long as your year, make, and model match up with our listing, these parts will directly fit and function like the originals.

What does this converter come with? Will stock heatshields fit back on it?

This will come with the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter. It should be able to fit the same as your OE part.

For your Subi it may work, but for my Honda it did not. Honda's will only run right with factory cats. My odyssey had a heartbeat literally until I spent the $$ & got the oem cat. after that the heartbeat sound went away & it runs good as new!
