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.

Calza perfecto, con excepción del protector termico que los tornillos no coinciden con la medida original. Se le tubo que cambiar a 10" y modificar la posición de las bases

This did get my rig through emissions testing. I need to point out that the mounting holes were not 100% accurate. I had to slot them to get it to bolt on. Other than that I had no issues installing this item.

I installed this catalytic converter on my Honda Odyssey, and it couldn’t have gone smoother. The fit was absolutely perfect—no modifications, no hassle, just a straightforward installation that felt like OEM quality. The construction looks solid and durable, giving me confidence it will last for years. The price was unbeatable compared to local options, making this an incredible value for such a critical component. After installation, the engine runs smoothly, and while the check engine light hasn’t turned off yet, I’m confident it just needs a little more drive time to reset. Overall, this part exceeded my expectations in every way—great fit, great performance, and great price. Highly recommended for anyone needing a reliable replacement!

This review is for the PHILTOP Rear High Flow Catalytic Converter for the Honda Odyssey 3.5L (2005–2010). I’m not sure why it now comes with different converters instead.I’ll keep this short. Mine is well built and fits well. Overall, I’m happy with it.Thank you for dropping by.

Quality part that arrived in excellent condition. Well packed as well as good appearance. Will have to wait until I'm ready to install it to determine if the fit is good and if the functionality is up to the standard.

First of all, be prepared to spend all day cursing and trying to get old bolts off. Lubricants, penetrates, breaker bars and torches were all used in my case. I guess after 230k miles it is to be expected but it is always unwelcome.This was exact fit replacement and while taking the old one off took many hours the installation of new one was just few minutes.I did get the p0420 code thrown in twice since the replacement but it went away on its own both times
