2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse 3.6L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#20906952/16709 - PHILTOP

I’m extremely happy with this PHILTOP catalytic converter. I had a check engine light on my Traverse, and the dealer quoted me an outrageous price for the repair. Instead, I ordered this converter and took it to my local exhaust shop—they installed it quickly, and it fixed the issue perfectly for a fraction of the dealer’s quote.The part fit exactly as described, no modifications needed, and the quality looks every bit as good as OEM. My check engine light is gone, and the vehicle runs smooth and quiet again.If you’re looking for a reliable, direct-fit replacement that won’t break the bank, this is an excellent choice. Great quality, easy install, and unbeatable value.

My 91 Cherokee is HARD to find parts for - if you have one, you know. And, then, when you do, they don't fit nearly as well as they like to pretend they will. This one does. No complaints. Easy in (difficult out - loads of rust on the old one). But, worked without issue and not too tough to install on a 91 Cherokee. Seems to be well made, certainly spec'ed to fit, and zero issue so far.

2015-2019 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#20757674/50497 - PHILTOP

My '04 Escape 3.0L threw a code last January, and the left cat was rattling like a maraca every time I started it. Found this Philtop kit online and the EPA-compliant label gave me some comfort knowing it'd pass inspection honest. The kit came with everything needed, and the fitment matched up to the factory flanges without any cutting or welding. Took me a full Saturday on jack stands in the cold, but that's just part of owning an older vehicle. Bolted it in and fired it up, code cleared within the first few miles and the rattle was gone. Runs smoother and the fuel economy creeped back up where it ought to be. Eighteen months of daily driving later, no codes, no rattles, passes emissions clean. The only gripe is the heat shield is a shade thinner than stock and hums faintly at idle. Honest part that saved me from a shop bill that would've smarted, and the old Ford's still earning its keep on the farm. Fair deal done right.

2015-2019 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L V8 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#20757674/50497 - PHILTOP

I installed this PHILTOP catalytic converter in my driveway over the weekend on my Chevy Cruze 1.8L, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I've done plenty of my own maintenance over the years, and this was one of the easier exhaust jobs I've tackled.The converter matched the factory part really well. All the mounting points lined up, the flanges fit correctly, and I didn't have to force anything or modify the pipes. The welds looked clean, and the overall construction felt solid right out of the box. It's definitely not one of those cheap replacement parts that leaves you wondering how long it'll last.After getting everything bolted up, I fired the car up and immediately noticed how much quieter it was. The exhaust leak was gone, the check engine light stayed off, and the engine idled smoother than it had in a long time. It also seemed to pull a little better during acceleration, and the exhaust smell that I'd been dealing with disappeared.Doing the job myself saved me hundreds of dollars compared to what a local shop wanted to charge. If you're comfortable turning wrenches and have a basic set of hand tools, this is a very doable weekend project. Just soak the old exhaust bolts with penetrating oil ahead of time—it'll make the job much easier.Overall, this catalytic converter fit exactly like it should, solved my emissions problem, and got my car running the way it was supposed to again. I'd definitely buy this PHILTOP converter again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a quality direct-fit replacement at a reasonable price. Five stars all the way.
