2015-2018 Ford Edge 3.5L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#DA8Z5G232C/16728 - PHILTOP

These catalytic converters were fairly easy to install without modifications. Get some flange bolts in case yours break or are deteriorated. You may need up to four for two flange assemblies. I still have a CEL for a cat fault. I did replace all the O2 sensors. Not sure if it’s the cats or O2s causing the issue. The cats likely do their jobs to reduce emissions and I live in a non inspection area so I’ll bypass the O2 signals from the sensors to get the CEL to disappear. These were installed on a 2016 Explorer.

2015-2018 Ford Edge 3.5L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#DA8Z5G232C/16728 - PHILTOP

Easy to install took about 2 hours to remove old cross pipe and install new one couple of studs came out of the head no bid deal just make sure no aluminum is on the threads the studs for the mid pipe come with a squared end making it easy to install without a stud extractor tool. Now i will wait and see how long this replacement will last. You will need to replace your o2 sensors if you damage them otherwise you can reuse the ones from your old one.Installation:4/5Quality:3.5/5

2011-2014 Honda Odyssey 3.5L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160R70A00/16658 - PHILTOP

This PHILTOP catalytic converter kit is a practical option if you’re dealing with a check engine light or emissions issues on Subaru 2.5L models. It’s designed as a direct-fit replacement for vehicles like Forester, Outback, Impreza, and Legacy, so installation is generally straightforward without major modifications . Being EPA-compliant means it meets federal emissions standards (though it may not be legal in CARB states like California), which is important to check before buying. The construction is typically stainless steel with a ceramic substrate, built to handle heat and exhaust flow while helping reduce emissions and improve engine efficiency . Performance-wise, it does a good job for daily driving and restoring normal operation, though it’s not as long-lasting as premium OEM or high-end brands. Overall, it’s a cost-effective solution that works well if you need a reliable replacement without spending a lot.

2011-2014 Honda Odyssey 3.5L V6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160R70A00/16658 - PHILTOP

Installed last November on a Honda pilot and still working fine so far… installed with Y-pipe from walker but had to cut the the flange for third cat to weld to Y-Pipe but the other two cats fit perfect on engine….cats came with all hardware but had to purchase gaskets for Y-Pipe from autozone…, after about 3. Days of regular city driving to work with about 5. Minutes on highway, the monitors were cleared and passed inspection…only reason I rate 4. Stars is because I am watching to see how they hold up over time.

2012-2015 Chevrolet Captiva Sport 2.4L | Catalytic Converter | OE#19463/644015 - PHILTOP

This catalytic converter fits well on my 2008 Ford F150 4.6L RWD and was straightforward to install. The bolt-on connections and flange to flange design made the replacement process much easier than expected. It arrived with all the necessary gaskets and hardware, which saved me an extra trip to the store.The stainless steel outer shell feels very durable, and the high flow design seems to have improved the engine's responsiveness. It is built to meet OEM specs, so it fits and functions as expected. The unit also appears to control emissions effectively, which is important for passing inspections.One downside is that the instructions were not very detailed, so some prior knowledge helped during installation. Also, it is specifically compatible with the 2004-2008 F150 4.6L RWD models, so it won’t fit other vehicles. Make sure to check fitment before ordering.This catalytic converter is a solid option for those needing a direct-fit replacement. Its durability and performance make it a reliable choice for keeping your truck running smoothly.

2006-2012 Subaru Outback 2.5L | Catalytic Converter | OE#44620AA740/16564 - PHILTOP

I recently replaced the catalytic converter in my 1998 Avalon with the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter Kit, and I've been quite pleased with the outcome. The installation was straightforward and fit like a glove, which made the whole process much simpler than I anticipated. After getting it installed, I noticed an immediate improvement in my car's performance and emissions.
