Walker 50484 Exhaust Y Pipe 2" Inlet (OD) 2.5" Outlet (OD) for Chevrolet Traverse

Got this exhaust pipe installed at my local shop last month and it's been working perfectly. Fits my car exactly right and the exhaust note sounds good - not too loud but has a nice tone. Quality seems solid and installation was straightforward according to my mechanic. No issues with emissions testing and everything lines up properly. Good replacement part that does exactly what it should. Happy with the purchase.

I wanted to replace most of the exhaust system once I replaced both cats on my 2011 Chevy traverse. Plus, since I was replacing all four of my o2 sensors this saved time with wasting time and work trying to remove the old sensors. This was a perfect fit. But as other reviews show if the bolts break on the catalytic converters they can be extremely difficult to remove. They are not welded in the holds but have some type of ridges that make it almost impossible to remove from. I use everything, including a torch and it took me all day. And as the others mentioned it can be a real challenge trying to find bolts and screws.

I was a bit skeptical of the quality from some of the reviews and also with how much cheaper the Walker pipe was compared to others I looked at. I actually bought another one that was $200 more just to be save. I was happy with the quality of the welds and it fit up perfectly. The advise I would give is to take your time with the nuts on the cats. I cut through one flat on each and then split with a chisel. No damage to the studs, just ran a die over to clean up the treads. New hardware and easy install.

So the short story is that this piece is exactly what I needed and fits perfectly. Don't forget to get the 3 gaskets. Now the long story. This part of the exhaust is held on by 6 bolts. 5 of the 6 bolts broke when I was removing the old piece! What a nightmare! 4 of the bolts are welded into the catalytic converters so you cannot remove them at all!. I had to cut the broken bolts off and drill new holes through the remains of the broken bolts. This was no small task. It was extremely difficult and I went through 8 quality drill bits. The other issue I found is that nobody carries exhaust system bolts/nuts. I had to go to 5 different stores to get them. I am not a newbie and this job took me the entire Saturday (8am-5pm) to complete. I also sprayed the nuts with wd-40 for 3 consecutive days prior to taking this on. You have been warned!

The Y pipe was good. It was off just a little bit on the middle converter but, it didn’t cause an exhaust leak so for the 160.00 it cost with shipping, was a great deal. Auto parts stores around me wanted 197 and over 200.

Install was quick and easy. Fits like it's supposed to.

Good fit solid replacement.

Perfect, direct fit! Price was good too!

La pieza ensamblo muy bien con los catalizadores!!!

Y-Pipe was a perfect fit on my vehicle. One thing that would be really nice is if it included nuts and bolts. I had to buy two nuts and two bolts, which isn't too bad.

This item rusted out within a year of purchase, I would not recommend purchasing it.

This pipe is covered by a 90 day warranty and that is it! In Canada, this will last about 18 months before it rusts out and breaks at the outlet flange. Would not recommend.

I will be looking to return this item as it has already had to be repaired by my mechanic once with only 2000km on it. Mechanic feels that he will need to fix it again, when he does I will be looking to return it when I put back on an OEM part. Mechanic sys there is an issue with the valve Vehicle rattles at 1200rpm and seems to hesitate unless it is given a little bit of a pop on the acccelerator. NOT a happy customer.
