2007-2008 Chevrolet Aveo5 1.6L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#96417179/16474 - PHILTOPPerfect fit on the engine side, on the muffler side you may need an adapter if your's is like mine where both pieces are flared out. Other than that it was and is a perfect fit. I fully stand behind this company and recommend purchasing from them.

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