2014-2015 Kia Sorento 2.4L | Catalytic Converter | OE#285102G445/16889 - PHILTOP

Installation fit and finish was nice and easy. Got rid of my p0420 error on a GDI Kia engine. Since these engines are notorious for failing and releasing oil into the catalyst it's really not worth investing in a super expensive OEM One. Engine replaced by Kia and they don't cover the cost of a catalytic converter oh well but who's to say how long the new engine will last why invest big bucks if it's going to get ruined anyways so... If it lasts a year or two I'm happy.

1993-1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L L4/4.0L L6 | Catalytic Converter | OE#52018128/15773 - 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.
