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

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!

Product fit great in 17 Traverse. Easy to install.

The price was good put it on my sons car

Mechanic said it was as most he has put on. No problems getting the old one off and installing this new one. Seems to be working fine . Do not use this vehicle as much as my other vehicles . Price was the same as Rock Auto . Do I cannot complain.

Fit perfect, inspected welds due to some other reviews and didn’t see any issues.

👍👍 ASE certified tech. The better than original. Remember to remove the labels before install. It will stink if you don’t.
