Fits perfect. Improved design at the flange so you don’t need an angled socket like the original.

Perfect fit on the engine side, on the muffler side you may need an adapter if your's is like mine where both pieces are flared out. Other than that it was and is a perfect fit. I fully stand behind this company and recommend purchasing from them.

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.

I picked up this PHILTOP 2-inch universal catalytic converter for my 2001 VW Cabrio build. I’m working on making a custom exhaust setup and I wanted to include catalytic converters so I can keep the car reasonable and avoid emissions issues during inspection here in NJ. I also do not need the car to be obnoxiously loud. Let’s be realistic, a VW Cabrio, or at least the one I’m building, does not need to be that loud to go that slow.The converter itself looks good in person. The stainless body feels solid, the welds look clean, and the heat shield is a nice feature. Looking through the inlet, the honeycomb inside looked clean and properly seated, which gave me more confidence in the part. It does not feel like a cheap empty shell or a flimsy exhaust piece.This is definitely a universal catalytic converter, not a direct bolt-on part. For my use, that is fine because I am already planning a custom exhaust. You should expect cutting, fitting, welding, adapters, or exhaust shop work depending on what you are installing it on. The 2-inch inlet and outlet size makes it useful for smaller custom exhaust setups and older vehicle repairs.I also like that it has an O2 sensor bung with a plug, which gives some flexibility depending on how you need to build the system. That is helpful when you are laying out a custom exhaust and figuring out sensor placement.Overall, this seems like a solid value for a custom exhaust or repair project. The construction looks good, the heat shield is useful, and the 2-inch size works well for the kind of small-car exhaust setup I am planning. Just make sure you check your local emissions rules and understand that this is a universal part that will require fabrication.

I installed this converter while repairing an aging exhaust system, and it worked well for the application. The overall construction felt solid, and the included heat shield was a nice addition that made the unit feel more complete than some universal converters I have used in the past.The 2-inch inlet and outlet sizing matched the exhaust setup I was working with, which simplified installation. Once in place, everything fit as expected and integrated cleanly into the existing system. The welds and exterior finish looked good, and the converter arrived without any shipping damage.After installation, the vehicle ran smoothly and the exhaust system was noticeably quieter than it had been with the failing component. It was a straightforward solution for getting the vehicle back on the road without replacing large sections of the exhaust.Overall, this is a solid option for compatible exhaust repair projects. Good construction, straightforward installation, and reliable performance made it a worthwhile replacement part.

A very well-constructed universal catalytic converter. The welds are clean, the integrated heat shield is sturdy, and the overall dimensions are accurate to a standard 2-inch inlet/outlet. It feels robust and durable, matching OEM standards easily. For a budget-friendly, EPA-compliant replacement, this is an exceptional value that gets the job done right.
