2013-2018 Nissan Altima 2.5L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#140E23TA0A/674149 - PHILTOP

I got this because I needed to get rid of a P0420 code for the absolute lowest cost, and this fit and functioned perfectly. I would've liked to see a heat shield, but the other can be transferred or not used, it doesn't make a huge difference. All of the welds are seamless and well done, and all the cuts are very precise. The flanges are square and gave me no issues sealing up.

2013-2018 Nissan Altima 2.5L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#140E23TA0A/674149 - PHILTOP

Item is great! Very good fit. I have a 2004 Camry 2.4L and it fits well. Looks well made. Even the gaskets are OK. 4 screws, washers and nuts are included even though for front attachment the threaded studs are already there.For the price, it is perfect. Either way it is perfect.There is an extra threaded hole very close to the front flange. I had a plug in the previously installed part, so I reused it here.Time will tell how well the catalytic converter holds up. The metal part will definitely live for a long time.

This catalytic converter is a budget-friendly replacement option for older Honda CR-V models with the 2.4L engine (2002–2006). It’s designed as a direct-fit unit, and it includes gaskets and hardware, which helps simplify the installation process without needing extra parts or modifications.The construction is pretty standard for this price range. It uses a stainless steel and aluminized pipe setup, which helps resist rust and handle heat over time. Inside, the ceramic core is built to support proper exhaust flow and emissions control. The “high-flow” design aims to reduce backpressure, which can help the engine run smoother if your old converter was clogged or failing.Installation is straightforward if you’re comfortable working on exhaust systems, though like most catalytic converters, professional installation is still the safer route if you want to avoid leaks or fitment issues.One important thing to keep in mind is emissions compliance. This is EPA-compliant, not CARB-compliant, so it’s not legal for use in stricter states like California and Colorado, and there are also limitations in places like New York and Maine depending on the vehicle.Overall, this is a practical replacement if you’re looking for a cost-effective fix and your vehicle qualifies under federal emissions standards. It covers the basics well without getting overly expensive.
