2007-2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4.0L V6; 2005-2006 Toyota Tundra 4.0L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#1715031011/101339 - PHILTOP

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.

Toyota is notorious for having tight emissions built into the ECM. I read many of these aftermarket cats won't work on Toyota's due to the low amount of precious metals used in their construction. It might not last as long as OEM but I just need it to pass this year. I installed the left bank converter on an 06 Tacoma that failed emissions inspection. I was pleasantly surprised after driving it for a 100 miles that the check engine light stayed off. A new OEM replacement is north of a thousand so this got me through on the cheap and the truck passed emissions no problem.
