If you are replacing the total Exhaust I woud recommend with:
-Walker 54126 Tail Pipe
-Walker 53141 Exhaust Tail Pipe
-Denso 234-4018 Oxygen Sensor (Bank 2) and Denso 234-4012 Oxygen Sensor( Bank 1)
-Walker Muffler Quiet Flow
Before I tried installing the components I checked the fit of the exhaust manifold flange and, like many other customers have complained, the flange holes do not fit. It is indeed rather unbelievable that the manufacturer has not managed to fix this over the years. I had to shift each hole to the outside by about 1/8" minimum - I ended up doing it with a 1/2" diameter hand file and some good old elbow grease. Do not buy this and attempt the repair if you don't have a way to properly hold the flanges in a vice and either drill out the hole or open it up to the outside with a dremel or file! The flanges cannot be removed so you also have to contend with the exhaust pipe going through them while you do this. It is a royal P.I.T.A.
The catalytic converters are larger than the originals and they are rotated slightly differently, leaving less space to get them installed. I was not able to get them maneuvered in there until I ended up moving the transmission cross-brace all the way back (remove the brace bolts & transmission support nut, unclip the wire harness, lift the transmission with a floor jack and slide the brace all the way back). With that out of the way I could get it in place, only to find out that the distance between the exhaust manifold flanges is about 1/4...3/8" larger than on the engine...
What is not clearly visible in the images is that this manifold comes in two pieces. The exhaust pipe for the driver side is attached with a slip fit and pipe clamp. After cutting off 3/8" from the end of this pipe I was able to make things fit.
Everything seems to be working fine but it took me way longer to do this than I had anticipated.
Note that you should also order the Doorman 03133 exhaust stud kit, because you will likely ruin the old nuts when trying to remove them and this catalytic converter kit does not contain those nuts.
