Well the passenger side catalytic converter mounted and sealed to the manifold and muffler perfectly, but all that did was set me up for the utter headache that followed with the resonator and drivers side catalytic convertor. After connecting the resonator to the passenger side cat i started realizing some things might be off as only one of the two exhaust hangers reached its anchor point. So pipe angle is definitely off. Next was the drivers side catalytic converter after bolting it down as far as it would go, there was still a massive gap between the top of the catalytic converter pipe and the exhaust manifold i can literally put my finger completely through the gap, which is ridiculous, but then trying to get that catalytic converter to line up with other end of the resonator was a nightmare. Either way I'm still not even sure if my catalytic convertor actually work yet as I will have to Frankenstein this system in order to get it to work. Hopefully they do, because I don't need anymore migraines from this. Read more

This PHILTOP catalytic converter is a direct-fit replacement designed for 2001-2005 Honda Civic models equipped with the 1.7L engine. I installed it as a replacement for an aging or failed factory converter, and it restored normal exhaust system operation without requiring major modifications.The converter arrived well packaged, and the overall construction appeared solid for an aftermarket replacement. The mounting points and flanges lined up properly on my vehicle, making installation relatively straightforward. Once installed, the exhaust system sealed correctly and the vehicle operated normally.As an EPA-compliant replacement, it is intended for use in areas that follow federal emissions standards. As always, buyers should verify local emissions requirements and confirm compatibility with their exact vehicle configuration before ordering.Overall, this is a practical and cost-effective replacement catalytic converter for older Honda Civic models. It offers direct-fit convenience and provides an affordable alternative to OEM replacement parts while restoring proper exhaust and emissions system function.

I have not put this on yet, but it seems like a very good product, built strong and to last, would buy again.

Sounds like an exhaust leak. Loud ticking noise.Update: Figured it out. Had to bend my muffler pipe to match angle and also used 2 gaskets, new and old one. Works.

2 piece design where as factory is a 1 piece on my 2011 Camry with 4cyl. Need a clamp to complete the job. Flange for mounting is off also and does not allow this to sit in factory location. It works, but could be a lot better with simple improvements.
