This is a perfect direct fit for 2006-2011 Accent or Rio. Straight forward instillation with bolt on connections with flange on flange line up for the custom fit.Well made of Heavybduty stainless steel and welded connections and it has a high flow output.Included are all the hardware and gaskets,everything needed to install.Fraction of the price of a factory replacement part and Philtop offers a lifetime warranty,a nice bonus.

2005-2010 Honda Odyssey 3.5L | Rear Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RGWA00/16351 - PHILTOP

First of all, be prepared to spend all day cursing and trying to get old bolts off. Lubricants, penetrates, breaker bars and torches were all used in my case. I guess after 230k miles it is to be expected but it is always unwelcome.This was exact fit replacement and while taking the old one off took many hours the installation of new one was just few minutes.I did get the p0420 code thrown in twice since the replacement but it went away on its own both times

Five Stars: Excellent Build Quality and a Perfect Fix for the P0420 CodeIf you own a $2004$-$2008$ Acura TSX, you know how frustrating it is when the notorious P0420 code (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold) pops up. After comparing prices for OEM parts, I decided to give this unit a shot, and I was genuinely impressed with the quality.The construction uses 409L stainless steel, which is significantly better than mild steel and should provide excellent longevity, especially when paired with the robust stainless steel welding. The laser-cut flanges were spot-on for a direct installation—it bolted right up to the existing manifold and mid-pipe without any bending or wrestling. They even included the gaskets and hardware, which saved me a trip to the parts store.Crucially, the unit uses a large-area honeycomb ceramic substrate (as shown in the diagram), which is key to achieving the necessary high efficiency. After the install, I cleared the code, and after several drive cycles, the Check Engine Light (CEL) has stayed off. My emissions monitors are running clean, and the car's engine note and responsiveness are back to normal. This is a solid, professional-grade solution that saved me hundreds over the dealership option.
