2011-2019 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.6L V6 | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#68036150AL/16780 - PHILTOP

I recently got a direct fit catalytic converter hoping for an easy swap, and for the most part, it delivered.Right out of the box, it looked well-made and has solid welds, a decent weight, and the flanges lined up exactly as they should. No weird bends or misalignments, which is always a relief when you’re dealing with exhaust components.Installation was straightforward. Since it’s a direct fit, I didn’t have to do any cutting or welding. You just unbolt the old one and bolt this in. That being said, if your old cat is rusted in place, which is common, be prepared to wrestle with some stubborn bolts. A little WD40 and an impact wrench made my life easier.Performance-wise, it does what it’s supposed to. No check engine lights, no odd smells, and the car is running more smoothly than before.The price was way better than an OEM replacement, and if it holds up over time, it’ll be a solid buy.One thing to note. You need to make sure to check your state’s emissions regulations before ordering. Some places have strict rules, and not all aftermarket cats are compliant. Other than that, no complaints so far.If you need a reliable, budget-friendly option to get your car passing emissions again, this is worth considering.
