2002-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160PPAA00/16167 - PHILTOP

I recently installed the PHILTOP High Flow Catalytic Converter on my 2005 Honda Accord, and I have to say, it made a noticeable difference. The fit was perfect, and installation was straightforward, which I really appreciated. The quality seems solid, and I feel more confident about meeting emissions standards since it’s EPA compliant.Since replacing the old converter, my car runs more smoothly, and I can feel a bit more power when I accelerate. It’s also quieter, which is a nice change. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, direct-fit catalytic converter for their Honda.

2002-2006 Honda CR-V 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160PPAA00/16167 - PHILTOP

I recently replaced the catalytic converter on my 2009 Subaru Forester with the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter, and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the purchase. Installation was straightforward, and I managed to do it myself without too much trouble, which is always a plus in my book.Right after the installation, I noticed a significant improvement in my car's performance. The engine felt smoother, and I didn’t hear any of those annoying exhaust noises that had developed over time. It’s also great to know it’s EPA compliant, so I can feel good about my environmental impact while driving.A few weeks in, there haven't been any issues, and my check engine light remains off, which was my main concern when making the switch. Overall, I think this is a solid choice if you're looking for a replacement catalytic converter for your Subaru. Good quality and a reasonable price—definitely worth considering if you’re in the same boat.

2013-2018 Ford C-Max 2.0L L4 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#BV6Z5E212A/16640 - PHILTOP

this 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.
