2006-2011 Hyundai Accent 1.6L L4; 2006-2011 Kia Rio 1.6L L4 | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#2851026190/16514 - PHILTOP

my 2011 Hyundai Accent started getting a bit of rotten egg/sulfur smell, so I decided to replace the catalytic converter before the sensors alerted me.It was a fairly easy replacement and the exhaust smells normal now.The only downside was that the shipping box was quite damaged and had several holes from the parts not being secured well enough.

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.

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
