Universal Catalytic Converter 2-Pack Stainless Steel | EPA - PHILTOP

I recently replaced the catalytic converter on my 2009 Subaru Forester with the PHILTOP Catalytic Converter, and I have to say, I'm pretty pleased with the purchase. Installation was straightforward, and I managed to do it myself without too much trouble, which is always a plus in my book.Right after the installation, I noticed a significant improvement in my car's performance. The engine felt smoother, and I didn’t hear any of those annoying exhaust noises that had developed over time. It’s also great to know it’s EPA compliant, so I can feel good about my environmental impact while driving.A few weeks in, there haven't been any issues, and my check engine light remains off, which was my main concern when making the switch. Overall, I think this is a solid choice if you're looking for a replacement catalytic converter for your Subaru. Good quality and a reasonable price—definitely worth considering if you’re in the same boat.

Universal Catalytic Converter 2-Pack Stainless Steel | EPA - PHILTOP

Started working with this catalytic converter about a week ago on a truck that needed a replacement to pass emissions. The part felt solid out of the box and came with all the needed hardware and gaskets, which made the install process straightforward. Fitment was accurate without needing to make adjustments, and everything lined up cleanly using basic tools.After a week of test drives and daily use, the functionality and throttle has been great. No check engine light and fuel efficiency seems steady. It feels like good value for the price and looks like it will hold up well over time.

Universal Catalytic Converter 2-Pack Stainless Steel | EPA - PHILTOP

This is a really great value for a pair of catalytic converters if you need them to pass your emissions testing. The only downside is that they are universal fit, so you will either need to weld them in or buy the various fittings needed to bolt them into your application. Neither is difficult but using premade fittings will let you install them without having to remove the rest of the exhaust system from the vehicle. If you're looking for something quick and inexpensive to get you through emissions testing, I would recommend going after the bolt-on parts. You'll need a fitting on each end of the cat and a clamp to secure them.

Universal Catalytic Converter 2-Pack Stainless Steel | EPA - PHILTOP

I was shocked at how inexpensive this cat converter kit happened to be! It strikes me as pretty decent quality and all of the details in the listing, and videos and photos were absolutely helpful and should definitely be reviewed when you make this investment! Obviously make sure it's an appropriate fit not only for your vehicle but also for your state and local laws!

Universal Catalytic Converter 2-Pack Stainless Steel | EPA - PHILTOP

These are awesome because they are relatively easy to put in, cats are basically universal, and they have an O2 port. What else do you want or would you want? The price of these is outstanding frankly all I really think I should spend on a catalytic converter. For me this is going into my car and I expect it will last much longer then the OEM one which only lasted me 2 years. But even if it doesn't I can then just swap it back out with the second one since I got the 2 pack. So the size is perfect and its a very solid construction. Does not have a heat shield which is fine because I can just use my old one, make one, or leave it off for speed.

2006 Hummer H3 3.5L L5 | Catalytic Converter | OE#12571601/16481 - PHILTOP

When I am buying something important I read a lot of reviews and pay attention to to details . I didn’t want to spend a fortune buying Oem so aftermarket was my only other option. This PHILTOP CC is unbelievable in quality and an exact replica of the one I removed. It feels and looks like original quality and matches up perfectly . It came with all hardware and even a how to guide. For the price I am very pleased!
