I doubted it from the start since when I looked inside the replacement "converters" they looked more like a resonator.

The kit does not have not catalytic converters, those humps after the headers are just perforated core resonators with a tiny bit of packing around them. Whoever told you otherwise flat out lied. They are just there to look like cats from the outside to make the vehicle pass a visual inspection, but it would fail a sniffer test.

Like I said though, the vendor was correct in that they will not cause you any problems....other than the annoying check engine light.
