2007-2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 1.6L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#96417179/16474 - PHILTOP

When I am buying something important I read a lot of reviews and pay attention to to details . I didn’t want to spend a fortune buying Oem so aftermarket was my only other option. This PHILTOP CC is unbelievable in quality and an exact replica of the one I removed. It feels and looks like original quality and matches up perfectly . It came with all hardware and even a how to guide. For the price I am very pleased!

This catalytic converter appears to be well built and of good quality materials. I have not been able to install the converter yet. But the ease of installation looks straightforward on my 2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 so it won't take very long. The converter comes with new gaskets and nuts. A very good value.
