2005-2008 Ford Escape 3.0L V6/2.3L L4 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#ZZC420500/53763 - PHILTOP

It's cheap, it fit perfectly, and worked..... for about the months. Mine has some kind of blockage that caused it to overheat and develops a small leak at one of the seams. It did not clog due to a running issue. I'm a professional mechanic and I was impressed enough by the construction of this cat that I'm ordering another and I'm assuming this was a manufacturing fluke.

If you’ve ever had to deal with a stubborn check engine light on an older truck, you know how stressful finding a replacement cat can be. I picked this direct-fit kit up for an older first-gen Tacoma 3.4L, and overall, it’s a solid piece of hardware.The first thing I noticed right out of the box was the quality of the welds. Budget exhaust parts can be a complete roll of the dice, but the beads on this unit are clean, solid, and completely sealed. The flanges are thick enough that you won't have to worry about them warping when you torque them down to crush the gaskets.Speaking of installation, "direct-fit" actually means direct-fit here. The bolt holes lined up perfectly with the existing factory Y-pipe and muffler connections without needing a pry bar or any sketchy pipe-stretching. It comes with the required nuts and bolts, though you'll want to make sure your old factory hangers are still in good shape since you reuse those. Performance-wise, it immediately cleared the P0420 code, the exhaust tone stayed perfectly normal without any annoying raspiness, and the truck passes the sniff test just fine. It's an excellent, hassle-free alternative to dropping a small fortune on an OEM replacement.
