2001-2003 Mazda B4000 4.0L V6 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#1F2120500/53425 - PHILTOP

This is my very honest opinion and review of the PHILTOP Rear Catalytic Converter Kit Compatible with Ford, Mazda Ranger 2001-2003 3.0L, Ranger 2001-2003 4.0L, B3000 2001-2003 3.0L, B4000 2001-2003 4.0L Replace# 53425 Direct-Fit (EPA Compliant)This PHILTOP Catalytic Converter fit my Ford Ranger nice and snug while also being of great quality and professionally made feel. It helped stop the emissions leak which was causing problems for awhile and always keeping the Check Engine Light on constantly, but not anymore! The price was great, the shipping was fast and painless, all-in-all awesome job from PHILTOP!

2003-2007 Honda Accord 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RAAA11/16299 - PHILTOP

There is a great importance with this converter being EPA compliant and its build quality. It does fit as described and is not hard to install when the old parts are removed. The hardest part is dealing with rusted bolts during removal. This is a budget value part and seems to have a decent ceramic catalyst. It is a good way to get the car functioning again and back on the road.

2002-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#18160PPAA00/16167 - PHILTOP

The alignment with the exhaust system was spot-on — no modifications or special tools needed. The installation took less than two hours, and once I started the car, it ran smoother and quieter than it had in years.The check engine light went off after a short drive, and I could immediately tell the emissions were cleaner. The quality of the welds and the materials feel solid, just like OEM parts.

1997-2001 Honda CR-V 2.0L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#18160P3FA20/16387 - PHILTOP

Looks like a good quality item except for one important product detail. It has a pre-cat O2 sensor mount where my ‘01 CRV already has a pre-cat O2 on the exhaust pipe. This does not show in any photos. Rather than plug it, I’m just returning it. My second choice specifically says “single” O2 (post-cat, hopefully) mount.

2005-2010 Honda Odyssey 3.5L | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RGWA00/16351 - PHILTOP

First of all, be prepared to spend all day cursing and trying to get old bolts off. Lubricants, penetrates, breaker bars and torches were all used in my case. I guess after 230k miles it is to be expected but it is always unwelcome.This was exact fit replacement and while taking the old one off took many hours the installation of new one was just few minutes.I did get the p0420 code thrown in twice since the replacement but it went away on its own both times
