Are they worried a used CAT wouldn't filter emissions as well as a new one? (in reply to 00AccordLX5spd) Post #: 19

RE: Transmission Problems Brewing? - 5/31/2008 9:42:59 AM    CuriousPA   Posts: 14 Joined: 5/14/2008 Status: offline I just wanted you to update you guys. Tried a few times to get on this website over the past 2 weeks but the website was down or something. Took it to the mechanic and he discovered the problem, an issue with the exhaust system. I don't remember the specifics but a part of the exhaust system has a pipe in a pipe (Plus heard something related to the heat shield) and part of it was rusted which caused that sound. Got the problem fixed in an hour for a grand total of $25. Thanks again for the help. Chris < Message edited by CuriousPA -- 5/31/2008 9:44:20 AM > (in reply to CuriousPA) Post #: 20

Its gone now, but the mechanic said their is still a slight noise (I can't hear it). He said the noise is the Cat and it will crap out sometime in the future. Looking forward to getting rid of this car, my A/C just crapped out on me again and I don't want to put another cent into this car. < Message edited by CuriousPA -- 6/1/2008 3:05:27 PM > (in reply to YeuEmMaiMai) Post #: 22

I had bought a new exhaust for 108 from autozone, replaced it and no more rattle. _____________________________ -1996 F22 2.2L Honda Accord LX -Street Flow Air Intake Kit -JDM Projector lens. 20% Tints, from THE TINT SHOP!

I took the car to a mechanic and had the rattle fixed for only $25. Didn't need a new exhaust, but I have gone through a few mufflers over the lifetime of this car.
