Worked well. Needed to trim some of the pipe that extended past the mount flanges. Upper and lower. The lower ring/donut gasket did not fit. About 1/4" too small. Check engine light went off.

Great product. Shipped quickly, however, I could not get the catalytic converter system (Y pipe) to seat properly and seal.

Our Rogue has been occasionally throwing codes indicating the catalytic converter was having issues. I was pleased to find this replacement that seems to fit just as well as the original. I appreciate that this includes gaskets for the front and rear ends of the unit.Thankfully, the check engine light is off, and the car was able to pass DEQ, so it could be registered.This part is a good value for the current price of about $80.Overall, I'm happy with the "PHILTOP Rear Catalytic Converter Kit Direct-Fit Compatible with Nissan Rogue 2.5L 2008-2013, Rogue Select 2.5L 2014-2015 Replace# 53827, 642053, Stainless Steel (EPA Compliant)".

I bought this PHILTOP rear catalytic converter kit for my 2000 Corolla after the original one finally gave out. The price was a big factor—OEM replacements are extremely expensive for a car this old, so this was a much more affordable option.The good: the stainless steel construction feels solid, and once installed the car immediately ran smoother with better exhaust flow compared to the clogged factory cat. It’s marketed as a direct-fit part, and for the most part it bolted up correctly. I didn’t need to do major modifications, which saved time.That said, a few things to be aware of. The alignment of the flanges was slightly off, so I had to spend extra time adjusting and sealing to avoid leaks. Also, keep in mind this is EPA-compliant only, not CARB, so it won’t pass in California or states with stricter emissions rules. Longevity is still a question mark since many aftermarket converters don’t have the same precious metal content as OEM, so I don’t expect it to last as long.Overall, it’s a solid replacement if you’re in an EPA state and need a reasonably priced fix to get your Corolla or Prizm back on the road. Just be prepared for possible minor fitment tweaks and keep your engine in good tune so the new converter doesn’t fail prematurely.

I recently swapped out my old catalytic converter on Audi with these PHILTOP high-flow ones, and honestly, it's been a solid upgrade. The 2.5" inlet/outlet fit perfectly without any hassle—no weird welding or adapters needed, which saved me a ton of time in the garage. It started up smooth right away, and I've noticed a bit better throttle response and quieter exhaust note overall. Gas mileage hasn't tanked either, which was a worry since it's a universal high-flow model. EPA compliant too, so no check engine light drama at inspection. For the price, it's way better than OEM—feels like it breathes easier without sacrificing much backpressure. If you're DIY-ing a cat swap, grab this one. 4 stars.

my 2011 Hyundai Accent started getting a bit of rotten egg/sulfur smell, so I decided to replace the catalytic converter before the sensors alerted me.It was a fairly easy replacement and the exhaust smells normal now.The only downside was that the shipping box was quite damaged and had several holes from the parts not being secured well enough.

Couldn’t get it to bolt up with supplied gasket. It was too thick, reused old one. Other than that works fine on my 13 Chevy cruze

I purchased this part for my car, and it fit like a glove with no modifications needed. My mechanic commented on the quality and had no issues installing it, which gave me confidence in the purchase. Since the replacement, my car has been running smoothly without any problems. It’s clear the material and build are solid, and for the price, it’s a dependable option for anyone needing a straightforward fix.

Great quality part for the price. It fit Dodge Journey 3.6L perfectly and came with all the hardware needed for installation. The install was straightforward, and so far it’s working exactly as it should with no issues. Definitely a good buy.
