I purchased this unit in Feb 11 and installed it sometime in March and it fixed my check engine light.
In August, my check engine light came back on and the converter began rattling indicating that the honeycomb was breaking up. I had used it about 5000 miles.
I called Walker and they said that it was my engine exhaust was too hot and causing the converter to fail and that I needed it analyzed. I will call bull on this. 2002 CRV has an advanced engine management system and this is plain and simple a poor quality product. THANKFULLY, Amazon is replacing the unit for free since it is within the 1 year warranty. If the next one fails, I will look at getting a OEM replacement.

Fit of this unit was fine except for where it attaches to the exhaust manifold. The fit was too loose caused by the walker part. I found a work around by using shims.

I used this convertor for a replacement for my 2002 Honda CRV, which developed a check engine light due to a convertor "below threshold". This convertor fixed the problem at a fraction of the price for a Honda OEM convertor. Make sure you buy new front and rear exhaust gaskets from Honda as the new convertor doesn't come with any and you will need them to make sure the fit and sound is normal. It is a fairly easy do it yourself install, but some of the bolts can be tight and rusted. Great product so far.
