2003-2007 Honda Accord 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RAAA11/16299 - PHILTOP

This catalytic converter fit my 2003 Accord 2.4L without major issues. The stainless steel build feels solid and the overall quality looks dependable for long term use. Being EPA compliant adds peace of mind, and it performs well after installation with no check engine light coming back on.The only drawback is that installation took a little longer than expected. The fit was mostly accurate, but I had to make some adjustments to get it lined up correctly. Once in place though, it worked as intended.Overall this is a good replacement option that offers durability and compliance at a fair price. A reliable choice for keeping an older Accord running smoothly.

2003-2007 Honda Accord 2.4L L4 | Catalytic Converter | OE#18160RAAA11/16299 - PHILTOP

This catalytic converter kit lined up perfectly and fit just the way it should. I honestly could not believe I was able to get the old one off as easy as I did, but once that was done this one went right in place without any problems. Everything matched up where it was supposed to and it saved me a lot of time and hassle. The quality looks solid, the stainless steel feels strong, and I think it will last a long time. For the price, this is a great buy and I am glad I chose it. Thanks for making a product that does what it says it will do, works great.

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

Our Rogue has been occasionally throwing codes indicating the catalytic converter was having issues. I was pleased to find this replacement that seems to fit just as well as the original. I appreciate that this includes gaskets for the front and rear ends of the unit.Thankfully, the check engine light is off, and the car was able to pass DEQ, so it could be registered.This part is a good value for the current price of about $80.Overall, I'm happy with the "PHILTOP Rear Catalytic Converter Kit Direct-Fit Compatible with Nissan Rogue 2.5L 2008-2013, Rogue Select 2.5L 2014-2015 Replace# 53827, 642053, Stainless Steel (EPA Compliant)".

1998-2002 Toyota Corolla 1.8L | Front Catalytic Converter | OE#174600D070/15844 - PHILTOP

I bought this PHILTOP rear catalytic converter kit for my 2000 Corolla after the original one finally gave out. The price was a big factor—OEM replacements are extremely expensive for a car this old, so this was a much more affordable option.The good: the stainless steel construction feels solid, and once installed the car immediately ran smoother with better exhaust flow compared to the clogged factory cat. It’s marketed as a direct-fit part, and for the most part it bolted up correctly. I didn’t need to do major modifications, which saved time.That said, a few things to be aware of. The alignment of the flanges was slightly off, so I had to spend extra time adjusting and sealing to avoid leaks. Also, keep in mind this is EPA-compliant only, not CARB, so it won’t pass in California or states with stricter emissions rules. Longevity is still a question mark since many aftermarket converters don’t have the same precious metal content as OEM, so I don’t expect it to last as long.Overall, it’s a solid replacement if you’re in an EPA state and need a reasonably priced fix to get your Corolla or Prizm back on the road. Just be prepared for possible minor fitment tweaks and keep your engine in good tune so the new converter doesn’t fail prematurely.
