Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This review is based on installation onto a 1995 Nissan Sentra on which Amazon claims this fits. Although I did get this to install, there are several differences that stood out as being different and inferior to the OEM version. 1. the heat shield is nothing more than a cheep piece of sheet metal welded onto the unit. The OEM heat shield covers much more area and has much more complete spacing from the unit, including protection for the O2 sensor. This unit has the hole for the O2 sensor so the sensor sticks straight down instead of on the side like the OEM. This makes it so that if you high center, you destroy the O2 sensor. Because the O2 sensor hole is in a different place, the OEM sensor cord isn't long enough. That's OK because the O2 sensor hole on this unit is for a bigger O2 sensor than the OEM version unit so you will have to replace the O2 sensor with a generic one that is made for a larger hole or buy a reducer. OEM bolt holes are threaded on one side and have bolt studs on the other, making it simpler to install. This one required you to buy all new bolts with nuts to get it to work because the 4 bolt holes are just big holes to but the bolts through. Had I known what I was getting, I would have opted for something else. It is installed and working and I don't have the patience to un-install it and return it. If you are thinking about buying this, do your homework and look elsewhere.
