1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOPI recently installed the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter Kit on my 1998 Toyota Camry, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The fit was perfect, and installation was straightforward, even for someone like me who's not a professional mechanic. It’s nice to know it's EPA compliant, so I feel good about my purchase.
1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOPI bought this for my 99 Toyota Corolla,it was a good fit except for the gasket was too fat so I just bought one from O’Reillys. I will add that I also changed both o2 sensors upstream and down stream to make sure I got the check engine cleared, which it did get cleared so far I’m on my 3rd tank of gas and it has not come back on for that code. The bee buzzing sound went away and sounds like a normal engine. This is my first time writing a review which I normally don’t do but this item definitely deserves it after saving me from paying $322. Great item hope it works for you as it did for me.

1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOPOem fit perfectly on ‘06 Toyota tundra 4.0L V6.
1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOPThis 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.

1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOPPerfect fit for my 2005 CR-V. Physically, the converter I received was very similar to but not completely identical to the OEM part I replaced. Disassembly was rough, lots of rusted bolts, but the install was quick and efficient. On restarting the car, it took a couple of starts for the computer to realize that things had changed and had adjusted appropriately. After that point, no problems at all. Much cheaper than the OEM.
