2013-2017 Honda Accord 2.4L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#181905A3L00/16827 - PHILTOP

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.

I recently replaced the catalytic converter on my 2009 Subaru Forester with the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter, and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the purchase. Installation was straightforward, and I managed to do it myself without too much trouble, which is always a plus in my book.Right after the installation, I noticed a significant improvement in my car's performance. The engine felt smoother, and I didn’t hear any of those annoying exhaust noises that had developed over time. It’s also great to know it’s EPA compliant, so I can feel good about my environmental impact while driving.A few weeks in, there haven't been any issues, and my check engine light remains off, which was my main concern when making the switch. Overall, I think this is a solid choice if you're looking for a replacement catalytic converter for your Subaru. Good quality and a reasonable price—definitely worth considering if you’re in the same boat.

The OEM catalytic converter on my 1999 Cherokee had disintegrated internally and completely clogged the exhaust. This replacement kit was a direct bolt-in and made it really easy to get the Jeep back on the road. Everything lined up the way it should and install went smoothly. This was also a much more afforable option as an exhaust shop quoted me over a thousand dollars to replace it.The oxygen sensor reads happy now and there is no more check engine light for “catalyst below threshold.” Exhaust flow feels much better and the engine runs stronger without the restriction. Good quality replacement and EPA compliant which gave me peace of mind. I am very happy with it and would definitely recommend for anyone with an older Jeep that needs a new cat.

2012-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport 2.4L | Catalytic Converter | OE#19463/644015 - PHILTOP

I installed this PHILTOP catalytic converter in my driveway over the weekend on my Chevy Cruze 1.8L, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I've done plenty of my own maintenance over the years, and this was one of the easier exhaust jobs I've tackled.The converter matched the factory part really well. All the mounting points lined up, the flanges fit correctly, and I didn't have to force anything or modify the pipes. The welds looked clean, and the overall construction felt solid right out of the box. It's definitely not one of those cheap replacement parts that leaves you wondering how long it'll last.After getting everything bolted up, I fired the car up and immediately noticed how much quieter it was. The exhaust leak was gone, the check engine light stayed off, and the engine idled smoother than it had in a long time. It also seemed to pull a little better during acceleration, and the exhaust smell that I'd been dealing with disappeared.Doing the job myself saved me hundreds of dollars compared to what a local shop wanted to charge. If you're comfortable turning wrenches and have a basic set of hand tools, this is a very doable weekend project. Just soak the old exhaust bolts with penetrating oil ahead of time—it'll make the job much easier.Overall, this catalytic converter fit exactly like it should, solved my emissions problem, and got my car running the way it was supposed to again. I'd definitely buy this PHILTOP converter again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quality direct-fit replacement at a reasonable price. Five stars all the way.
