This catalytic converter is the secondary cat that comes after the first two cats in the Acura TL. This is a similar setup to the other Honda V6's. This catalytic converter won't throw any codes (at least not in my model) because it's not attached to any O2 sensors. I just replaced mine since my old cat was starting to rust over.I had no issues installing this, it lined up directly with my exhaust. I don't necessarily consider this a "crucial" part since this cat won't throw any codes, and it's "EPA-compliant." I live in Texas so emissions aren't really a big deal here if you aren't throwing any codes.The honeycomb on the inside seems to be holding up. It's not as expensive as OEM because there aren't as many valuable metals in this cat (which is fine, that's how EPA-compliant cats are), but it functions as it should.

This catalytic converter is a budget-friendly replacement option for older Honda CR-V models with the 2.4L engine (2002–2006). It’s designed as a direct-fit unit, and it includes gaskets and hardware, which helps simplify the installation process without needing extra parts or modifications.The construction is pretty standard for this price range. It uses a stainless steel and aluminized pipe setup, which helps resist rust and handle heat over time. Inside, the ceramic core is built to support proper exhaust flow and emissions control. The “high-flow” design aims to reduce backpressure, which can help the engine run smoother if your old converter was clogged or failing.Installation is straightforward if you’re comfortable working on exhaust systems, though like most catalytic converters, professional installation is still the safer route if you want to avoid leaks or fitment issues.One important thing to keep in mind is emissions compliance. This is EPA-compliant, not CARB-compliant, so it’s not legal for use in stricter states like California and Colorado, and there are also limitations in places like New York and Maine depending on the vehicle.Overall, this is a practical replacement if you’re looking for a cost-effective fix and your vehicle qualifies under federal emissions standards. It covers the basics well without getting overly expensive.

Perfect fit for my 2005 CR-V. Physically, the converter I received was very similar to but not completely identical to the OEM part I replaced. Disassembly was rough, lots of rusted bolts, but the install was quick and efficient. On restarting the car, it took a couple of starts for the computer to realize that things had changed and had adjusted appropriately. After that point, no problems at all. Much cheaper than the OEM.

It has good quality and, for the price, offers great value. Easy to use and install, with 8 sizes that fit well. You don’t need to do anything extra—just install it and it works perfectly. Overall, excellent quality. Thanks for watching

My 91 Cherokee is HARD to find parts for - if you have one, you know. And, then, when you do, they don't fit nearly as well as they like to pretend they will. This one does. No complaints. Easy in (difficult out - loads of rust on the old one). But, worked without issue and not too tough to install on a 91 Cherokee. Seems to be well made, certainly spec'ed to fit, and zero issue so far.

I recently installed the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter Kit on my 1998 Toyota Camry, and I have to say, it was a pretty smooth experience. The installation was straightforward, and I appreciated that it came with all the necessary parts.

I recently installed the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter Kit on my 1998 Toyota Camry, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The fit was perfect, and installation was straightforward, even for someone like me who's not a professional mechanic. It’s nice to know it's EPA compliant, so I feel good about my purchase.
