My 7th gen accord's cat broke today. I knew it was rusted but didn't think it would go out so soon.. The whole cat is pretty much rusted out from end to end and making a horrific buzzing noise. It's like a bee from hell is constantly around me when I'm driving.. to put it at the least. The header and exhaust are completely new so no worries there.. but I can't seem to find a cat converter for a decent price anywhere. I looked on eBay and saw they only had test pipes. Any suggestions?

 

try some online auto parts stores. They aren't cheap

 

darn.. well I finally find one option on ebay..
are eastern cat converters recommended? or do they just suck??

I'd go with Catco for an OEM type or Random Technologies for a performance type.

 

also, if you get a cheap one you run the risk of your check engine light coming on because of improper readings, then it will take out an O2 sensor ($80-$120). Do it right the first time and it won't give you as much of a headache.

 

Thanks for all the great advice!
