2000-2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#1740307041/53432 - PHILTOP

The catalytic converter is actually a good replacement product for a 2000-2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L engine. It is way cheaper compared to those offered by dealerships, making it a suitable alternative when you need to fix your exhaust system on a budget. The body made of stainless steel seems durable enough, and the welds appear to be sufficiently reliable for everyday use. I really like the fact that this catalytic converter is a direct fit and comes with all the necessary parts and gaskets. The fitment still needs to be checked carefully, especially the engine size, year, and reference part numbers. It is also very important to make sure this part is legal for your state, since it is EPA compliant but not for California, New York, Colorado, Maine, or vehicles that require CARB standards. Installation may be manageable for someone with exhaust experience, but rusted bolts can still make the job harder on an older Tacoma. Overall, it is a good value replacement converter, but double checking fitment and emissions rules before buying is a must.

2000-2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L V6 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#1740307041/53432 - PHILTOP

Was a perfect fit for the rear Cat on a 2001 Tacoma Double cab 3.4L. Quality seems good. However, I removed one star because it was missing installation hardware and I had to go buy it locally. It also does not come with the hardware to mount the exhaust hanger. The factory has the bolts built into the factory Cat. So you’ll need to buy those regardless.

The installation was straightforward and fit like a glove, which made the whole process much simpler than I anticipated. After getting it installed, I noticed an immediate improvement in my car's performance and emissions.
