Use only a genuine Honda part, or have the original one re-welded if possible. Try junk yards, you might get lucky. The catalytic converter may have burned up due to a poorly tuned engine, or dirty sensors causing a too rich condition (or dirty IAC valve, or failed O2 sensor). In other words, try to find out WHY the converter failed, to prevent a future problem. Have car inspected at more than one place. A clever technician just MIGHT be able to spot weld it. The car will not run correctly without one. Good Luck!!
not worth it the car is going to die in about 10,000 miles ride it out till inspection is up ether junk it or buy fake stickers
I would say to buy a catalytic converter and install it your self. It’s not that hard all you need is time to remove a few screws instead of wasting hundreds of dollars trying to replace 1 small piece of part.
you can buy your own off an auto part store and take it to a weld shop which would probably be cheaper all I know is that your gonna pay at least $100-200 no matter where you go unless you have a cutter and welder to do it yourself but still the cat converter will be around $60-100
