2005-2010 Honda Odyssey 3.5L | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RGWA00/16351 - PHILTOP

But I'm not a mechanic and cannot assess performance until it's on the truck, and I got it for when I will eventually need one.(My G1 Ridgeline is now 20 years old, still runs like new, and the original exhaust still works fine, but does rattle a bit on start up.)If/when I need to install, it I'll update this review with any issues or complaints.

I was worried about replacing the catalytic converter on my 2008 Honda Odyssey, but this PHILTOP converter was exactly what I needed. The fit was absolutely perfect - bolted right on without any modifications. Installation was straightforward with the included gaskets, saving me hundreds compared to the dealership quote. My check engine light disappeared immediately and my van runs smoother than it has in years. Last weekend, we took a road trip to the mountains and I noticed significantly better gas mileage than before. The quality seems excellent and I'm confident it will last for years. If you're hesitating about this purchase for your Honda or Acura, don't - it's a great quality replacement at a reasonable price.

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.

Functionally the catalytic converter fit and fixed the P0420 code. The flanges on the exhaust were good and lined up perfectly. The only problem here is the heat shield brackets. I was unable to get them all to line up, but was able to use 1 in front and 1 on back and the other tabs now just function as anti rotation tabs. Is it perfect? No, but it works to fix the problem on my car for an affordable price.Had everything been lined up this probably this would have taken under an hour but ended up taking an extra 30-40 min to try to get the heat shield to fit. Had I not had a lift it would have been really frustrating.The quality of the converter is good. Not OEM, but the welds are good and the exhaust flanges are thick and quality to allow for good sealing. The provided seal had to be pressed into the machined ring.Even with the issues, I would purchase this and use over paying significantly more for an OEM one that has zero issue.
