2007 Kia Spectra5 4dr Hatch

139000 mi

US $600
exhaust... the secondary catalytic converter was STOLEN!!! The previous owner welded a piece of pipe but there was a hole and the gas came into the cabin. (Baby is coming... I wanted to make the car safer) I bought the cat the first section of the pipes and the resonator (exhaust manifold/cat + muffler was in good condition) I've replaced them by myself NOTE: I had to order 4 different kinds of cats. The all mentioned as OEM fits!!! ONLY THE 4 CAT WAS PERFECT FIT. Yes, these cars produced with 3 different kind of cats... (the 2nd one what I ordered was a factory defect one). I had no clue which one I have to order as the original one was missing! Finally, Everything came together and now I have a nice (half) new exhaust system installed :) No more gas in the cabin ;)
