2007-2017 Jeep Patriot 2.4L L4; 2007-2017 Jeep Compass 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#68066674AC/16618 - PHILTOPthis kit is a solid option if you’re working on a Chevy or Buick with the 1.4T engine because it comes with the gasket included and the fitment lines up cleanly with the Encore Trax and similar models from the 2013 to 2018 range, and the welds and overall build feel sturdy right out of the box which is important when you’re replacing a factory converter on these small turbo engines. The installation is pretty straightforward if you’ve done exhaust work before since the bolt holes match up well and the kit seals tightly once everything is torqued down, and being EPA compliant makes it a reliable replacement for states that don’t require CARB parts. Once installed it helps clear up exhaust restriction issues and gets rid of the rattling or sulfur smell that shows up when the old converter starts failing, making it a dependable choice for restoring performance without paying dealership prices.

2014-2017 Nissan Versa Note 1.6L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#200109KK0A/16794 - PHILTOPNot for the Nissan Versa S. I believe it’s for the Nissan Note. The exhaust gasket didn’t fit on the manifold side, so I had to buy that from the parts store; other than that all the hardware worked. Also the design is different but still made it work. I’m happy with how much better it made the car feel. Also better fuel mileage. I recommend upgrading your intake, because your car can breathe a lot better with the high flow cats.
