2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria 4.6L V8 | Catalytic Converter | OE#5W1Z5E212BA/54345 - 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 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.

I recently got this catalytic converter kit, and it was a good purchase.One of the things that's good about this kit is the compatibility. It covers multiple years.Another thing that's nice is the stainless steel body. The material is designed to help with rust.I also like that it comes with the gaskets and hardware. This makes the installation easier without needing to modify anything.Overall, this catalytic converter kit was a good value and purchase.

I recently installed the PHILTOP High Flow Catalytic Converter on my 2005 Honda Accord, and I have to say, it made a noticeable difference. The fit was perfect, and installation was straightforward, which I really appreciated. The quality seems solid, and I feel more confident about meeting emissions standards since it’s EPA compliant.Since replacing the old converter, my car runs more smoothly, and I can feel a bit more power when I accelerate. It’s also quieter, which is a nice change. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, direct-fit catalytic converter for their Honda.

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.
