1999-2003 Lexus RX300 3.0L | Catalytic Converter | OE#1845020110/16191 - PHILTOP

I ordered the PHILTOP Rear Catalytic Converter Kit for a 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback, and I am pleased and impressed with the results. Finding the right replacement part can often be a gamble or guessing game, but this kit is a 100% accurate fit that aligns perfectly with the existing exhaust system. It is a high-quality choice for anyone looking to restore a vehicle's performance to factory standards.Build Quality and Specifications- The unit is constructed from high-quality polished stainless steel, it is durable and resistant to corrosion and harsh conditions. The total length of this part is 34.1 inches and a body width of 6.9 inches, it maintains the precise dimensions required for a seamless install. Despite its larger size build, it weighs a manageable 9.3 pounds, so it doesn't add unnecessary bulk and is made to provide long-lasting reliability.Installation and Performance- Installation was completely hassle-free with no drilling required, as the kit includes all the necessary bolts to get the job done. Since installing it, the vehicle functions flawlessly- a significant improvement in both engine power and fuel efficiency. Given its fair pricing and professional-grade construction, I highly recommend this part as a top-tier alternative.

2004-2006 Lexus RX330 3.3L | Catalytic Converter | OE#2505120040/16394 - PHILTOP

This catalytic converter is the secondary cat that comes after the first two cats in the Acura TL. This is a similar setup to the other Honda V6's. This catalytic converter won't throw any codes (at least not in my model) because it's not attached to any O2 sensors. I just replaced mine since my old cat was starting to rust over.I had no issues installing this, it lined up directly with my exhaust. I don't necessarily consider this a "crucial" part since this cat won't throw any codes, and it's "EPA-compliant." I live in Texas so emissions aren't really a big deal here if you aren't throwing any codes.The honeycomb on the inside seems to be holding up. It's not as expensive as OEM because there aren't as many valuable metals in this cat (which is fine, that's how EPA-compliant cats are), but it functions as it should.
