1996-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L V8 | Catalytic Converter | OE#52101393/15820 - PHILTOP

Really amped to find a high-flow Catalytic Converter for my out-of-production 20-year-old Nissan SUV. Getting harder to find parts for the SUV unless sourcing from salvage yards. This part is "heavy" stainless steel and looks high quality - see photos. Comes with installation hardware and an installation booklet (dual language in English and Spanish). Is approved in the state I live in. Should pass the state vehicle inspection after installed!

The 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.

I haven't had a chance to install this catalytic converter yet, but so far I'm very happy with my purchase. It's a perfect fit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the product listing was really clear about the years and models it's compatible with. I was glad to see it's made from stainless steel and has aluminized pipes, which gives me confidence that it'll hold up against rust and last for a long time. Especially in New England's winters.The packaging was great—it arrived right on time and everything was in good condition with no dents or damage. The fact that the kit comes with all the necessary gaskets and hardware is a huge bonus, so I don't have to go looking for separate parts. It's also EPA compliant, which is a big relief. I'll be sure to update my review once I get it installed and can comment on its performance, but for now, it seems like a quality product at a fair price.

My 26-year-old Jeep still had its original catalytic converter, so finding a quality replacement was a top priority. This product showed up just when I needed it. The build is very solid, and the fit was perfect—just like an OEM part. Not only does it look much better than the corroded original, but it also functions far better. It's an excellent, affordable alternative to a dealership part, and I couldn't be happier with the upgrade.

I bought this catalytic converter for my ’98 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it has been a solid purchase. The part arrived well-packaged with all the gaskets and hardware needed, which made the install straightforward. It really was “plug and play” — no welding or drilling needed, just bolted right in.The quality feels good, with a sturdy stainless steel body that looks like it will hold up for the long haul. After installing, I immediately noticed smoother performance and slightly better fuel economy. The exhaust note is clean, and it passed emissions testing here with no issues (outside of the CA/NY/ME restrictions they note).For the price, it’s hard to beat. Shops were quoting me several hundred dollars more, so this was a big savings without sacrificing quality. Time will tell on longevity, but so far I’m very happy with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone needing a replacement converter for an older Cherokee or Grand Cherokee.

While the proof will ultimately be in the emissions test results, right off the bat this looks very promising. Every weld on this converter is well made, and the metal itself is heavy gauge. Even the heat shield feels very sturdy - nothing flexing or rattling when you pick it up. The catalyst itself is indeed on a ceramic substrate. The inlet side measures 2.5" on the inside diameter, while the outlet side (with the O2 bung) measures 2.25" on the outside diameter.
