2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#15889902/53857 - PHILTOPThis catalytic converter is the secondary cat that comes after the first two cats in the Acura TL. This is a similar setup to the other Honda V6's. This catalytic converter won't throw any codes (at least not in my model) because it's not attached to any O2 sensors. I just replaced mine since my old cat was starting to rust over.I had no issues installing this, it lined up directly with my exhaust. I don't necessarily consider this a "crucial" part since this cat won't throw any codes, and it's "EPA-compliant." I live in Texas so emissions aren't really a big deal here if you aren't throwing any codes.The honeycomb on the inside seems to be holding up. It's not as expensive as OEM because there aren't as many valuable metals in this cat (which is fine, that's how EPA-compliant cats are), but it functions as it should.
2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#15889902/53857 - PHILTOPThe 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.
2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#15889902/53857 - PHILTOPSeems like good quality and durable construction. No issue with fit, seems like a good match to the old one and functions fine. Will have to see how it holds up in the long run!
2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR 2.2L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#15889902/53857 - PHILTOPCheap alternative to the local parts house.Working as a mechanic I've replace many converters over the years and have learned that price typically equals useful life. If you just need a couple more years use out of your car go with a cheap cat to get you through your emission test, plan on keeping it for a long time, I would suggest going with o.e. or a premium replacement part.
