Okay, if I were looking for a catalytic converter for my Elantra, Soul, Tucson, or Forte here in Charlotte and wanted to keep things EPA-compliant without breaking the bank, I'd come across the PHILTOP 16646. They say it's a direct fit with a durable stainless steel body and all the hardware, which sounds pretty good for the price. The catch, as of May 2025, is that there aren't a ton of specific reviews out there for this exact PHILTOP model. Some folks with similar PHILTOP parts on these cars have had good luck, maybe with minor tweaks needed for a perfect fit, while others offer less feedback. So, while it's a budget-friendly option that should legally work fine for our emissions standards here in NC, I'd go in knowing it's a bit more of an unknown in terms of long-term performance and perfect bolt-on ease compared to a more established, pricier brand.

nice packaging. fits well. the welds are pretty nice, and I have yet to find any pinholes. seems well made and arrived safely which feels rare of oe replacement exhaust. Great value considering it has a catalytic converter integrated, the included hardware is great.

It looks like it should be an exact for on a 2012 Kia Soul 2.0. It looks like a quality piece that should work fine. NI held it up and it all lines up fine, I could not get the stock cat off on jack stands and will need to get it up on a lift to replace it.

My check engine light turned off, so it seems to work fine for my car

I got this because I needed to get rid of a P0420 code for the absolute lowest cost, and this fit and functioned perfectly. I would've liked to see a heat shield, but the other can be transferred or not used, it doesn't make a huge difference. All of the welds are seamless and well done, and all the cuts are very precise. The flanges are square and gave me no issues sealing up.

Item is great! Very good fit. I have a 2004 Camry 2.4L and it fits well. Looks well made. Even the gaskets are OK. 4 screws, washers and nuts are included even though for front attachment the threaded studs are already there.For the price, it is perfect. Either way it is perfect.There is an extra threaded hole very close to the front flange. I had a plug in the previously installed part, so I reused it here.Time will tell how well the catalytic converter holds up. The metal part will definitely live for a long time.

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.

This Fit right in place. The only thing I had to modify was the frame area to fit the o2 sensor but that wasn't difficult. Besides that this y catalytic converter fit well and is made of good quality material. I highly recommend.
