..which I knew going in. $90 is about 1/3 the raw material price for the amount of platinum it requires to make a working catalytic converter. So, expect to keep having to reset the engine light every few days. Not a problem, if you're like me. Other than that, it seems to be made well, fits properly, and doesn't leak. It was everything I expected for the price. You'll easily pay $400+ for a real one.. not something I'm willing to do for a 21 year old car.
