Replaced the bank 2 cat with an Eastern Catalytic from rockauto. When it was delivered I inspected probably the worst case of crappy workmanship I have ever seen. The welds looked worse than what I can do. I'm serious. This thing looked like a handful of kids made it in a garage.
I installed it begrudgingly and ran it through its break in cycle. 12000 miles later the pipe from the #6 cylinder (Front driver's side) has a HUGE crack in it adjacent to the first weld. Needless to say I'm pretty pissed off.
Working on that today. doing a search one will find several complaints about Eastern Catalytic and their poor quality- mostly in terms of performance and customer service. In my case, it's cheap materials and workmanship. Rockauto and Eastern Catalytic will be getting a copy of this picture:
