2008-2013 Nissan Rogue 2.5L L4 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#20018CZ30A/53827 - PHILTOP

I have yet to install this catalytic converter so my review will focus mostly on what you get and the quality-it looks as it does in the photos, it feels heavy and solid, the welds look pretty uniform and strong.I love that it comes with the two gaskets and all the bolts you need for the replacement-that way if some of your bolts are rusted together and won’t come off of the old catalytic converter, you could just sawzall them off and put these new ones on.I wish I could attest to the fit and to the function, but I will come back and let you know how it’s working once I’ve had the energy to put in on my SUV. I highly recommend lightly sanding the metal underneath the old gasket on the pipes attached to your vehicle to make sure the new gasket is seated properly and makes a good seal.

Here’s a review draft that hits the technical notes with Dustin-style clarity and real-world grit:---If your Jeep or Dodge is coughing like it’s been chain-smoking since 2011, this PHILTOP high-flow catalytic converter is the mechanical nicotine patch it’s been begging for. EPA compliant, stainless steel, and built like it means business.Real-World Rundown:• Fitment: Bolted onto a 2012 Grand Cherokee 3.6L like it was factory-born. No awkward angles, no gasket drama.• Build Quality: Stainless steel feels solid—not the kind that flakes after one winter.

Not race-car loud, but definitely less wheezy.• Compliance & Codes: Passed emissions in Alabama without throwing a single CEL. No post-install sensor tantrums.Field-Tested Verdict: Took it through a 300-mile round trip with mixed terrain—no leaks, no regrets.

1996-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L V8 | Catalytic Converter | OE#52101393/15820 - PHILTOP

I haven't had a chance to install this catalytic converter yet, but so far I'm very happy with my purchase. It's a perfect fit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the product listing was really clear about the years and models it's compatible with. I was glad to see it's made from stainless steel and has aluminized pipes, which gives me confidence that it'll hold up against rust and last for a long time. Especially in New England's winters.The packaging was great—it arrived right on time and everything was in good condition with no dents or damage. The fact that the kit comes with all the necessary gaskets and hardware is a huge bonus, so I don't have to go looking for separate parts. It's also EPA compliant, which is a big relief. I'll be sure to update my review once I get it installed and can comment on its performance, but for now, it seems like a quality product at a fair price.
