I'm about to swap catalytic converters on my 2000 accord 4dr ex as it is rattling.

The converter I got, a Magnaflow replacement, didn't come with replacement bolts and the ones on there look pretty rusted. I looked up replacement bolts, 3 on each end, and they run around $10 each for stock replacement ones. What would you all use? $60 for replacement bolts and nuts seems a little steep, especially when thats almost half what I paid for the converter.

Thanks for any help!

 

The bolt through the converter is t-shaped wheel stud. The Honda converters have a groove in the back, so the bolt can't rotate.

If your aftermarket converter just has a hole, then I would go to a parts store and find a wheel stud that will press into the the holes in the converter. An autograde wheel bolt will work too.
