why is not flexable at the top?and it will fit a 2.4 1998 chevy malibu eng

The sold neck is not ment to flex due to the original equipment breaking at the flex point and causing an exhaust leak. As far as it fitting a 2.4 liter ..... It will not fit.

The whole piece is rigid. you can look up the fit in either autozone (web site or store) or amazon.

It matched up with my 2001 malibu perfectly the flex was not needed if amazon says it matches up with your 1998 the chances are very good that it will. Also make sure you bring the one you are replacing to the recycler they gave me $150 for the used one which about paid for the replacement.

The pipe is shaped different the catalytic converter you might try is a magna flow 23465

Josh your full of it I have this product and installed it. The flex steel is just wrapped in solid it will stretch and become more flexible as vibrations wear on it. Don't answer questions that you don't know.

No. the 4cylinder engines use a different catalytic converter, this specific one is for a V6 Grand Am GT. I bought this one in Sept. Really nice

I had the same issue and at first it was not an issue but after a few months the mechanism that locked the tower in the upright position failed. The piece of metal that you squeeze to lower the rack enabling you to get into the back of your SUV / Truck wiggles out of position and the entire rack drops to the lowered position. Be careful. If my truck wasn't a high profile vehicle the tire from one of the bikes would have been drug along the highway. I "Fixed" this issue temporarily by cutting a piece of wood to fit to wedge into the space where the metal spring is and then zip tying it there so it couldn't wiggle itself open but in the end I ended up spending the money and buying a higher quality rack.

t that your 1998 Pontiac Sunfire bumper has those hoes. I also doubt that your bumper is designed to be weight bearing. I would have a mechanic make an assessment of whether or not your bumper could be retrofitted for that hitch custom.

According to amazons search engine this part does not match. The other thing is weather you have flex and not regular motor. Have to be specific on this. Pull a plug to get numbers on it. If not call your dealer for part number. Tell them your trying to figure out of plus you have are correct. Bs'm when looking up on amazon two different numbers pull up either old and new, or flex and regular. Good luck

I think it will only fit 96 & up because the front hood has a black plastic piece on the front

Sorry, I never did use this specific part. Unfortunately I found this out AFTER removing my broken actuator, they looked totally different. When I ordered it from Amazon, their system cross-referenced it as a suitable replacement for my 2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LS front driver side door. This information WAS NOT accurate.

Actually, I haven't had the opportunity to install it becuz my car is a 2013 malibu and they havent came out with an installation kit or harnest nor is there one out here to fit it

I would check with the fit guide that should pop up on the top of the page when you view the item on a computer. The guide said it would not fit my Chevy Silverado and it didn't. I made it work but it didn't fit as intended.

The Flex is not ideal for headlights, but I use it at times, As for backing plates I have never looked for anything in 3 inch. I already have two DAs with 3 inch.

Hi, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If you mean does it overlap at the top, then yes. I found a TON of videos on how to install it. Here is part 1. if you search on youtube you'll find the other. This is exactly how we did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmJIRMh4CV8

I will post up later to confirm. This top fit both my 95 Four Winns 190 Horizon as well as my 93 Malibu Echelon.. On both boats i mounted it to the outside of the hull. My email address is fredvaldez5.7@gmail.com , you if send me an email, I can send you a link to my photobucket site to show you pictures of both...

Almost a guarantee that they will fit, it is a matter of how well. Suggest you detach the headrest part. The back seat part just pulls down over the seat (it's stretchy. )The bottom has an opening in the back with straps to pull it tight so it has very wide range of seats that will fit. I've a 2013 Chevy Malibu & they work for it. Your seats are probably a littel smaller so should be O.K. Bigger seats would be more difficult.

I installed this on a 1999 Silverado. Width is fixed, not adjustable could be the reason. Experience tried to get in parking garage to tall had disassemble while stuck in entrance. Backed into my own garage snapped it off. If money is not an option get adjustable height ones, and leave down when not in use.

Probably because it isn't a "gold standard." Don't waste your money, buy the proper top made by Mopar. This one is such a hassle and I had to drill my own holes in some of the poles because they weren't drilled in the correct spot. The windows don't even fit right.

It did not fit mine, exactly as the comment above indicates. The top will not snap into place. Yes, I could close it if I wanted to it and it would probably stay in place 99% of the time, but I'm not looking for an imperfect fit.

My daughters is a 2000 but they should be the same body style...I used only Gorilla Glue to connect the 2 sides...not needed, I am just that way...easy on.

It bends and can overlap. I have a Toyota Yaris and it fits really well. You can put them vertical it horizontal to get the coverage you want. I can't imagine too many vehicles they won't fit. It is actually two separate pieces. I like and recommend the product. They are quicker and easier to manage than the cheap, accordian style kind.
