Yea so my catalytic converter is shot and the dealership is talking like 900 bucks just to buy another one. I just wanna pass emissions tests, where can i get another one? I was told i could find one for like $150. Anyone have any experience with this?

 

aftermarket.

search for SMSP, IPSRACING, or for something local, just goto autozone/pepboys.

 

check the h-t classifields its gotta have on there. sold mine for like $70 a while back

 

is the aftermarket Cat gonna be as effective in passing the emissions?

 

edit: your other post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=918127
indicates that you have no idea what a hondata is, yet you have it in your car.

btw, these aftermarket pieces...forget it.. you probably destroyed your cat, and now nothing can save you!

just go to the dealership and bend over, provide 900 dollars and hope they lube it up well.

Then, by the time you get to the inspection station again, the cat will crap out on you, and prepare another 900 dollars. Repeat, rinse, et al. until youre broke, or figure out its not your cat which is going to "pass" you.

 

lol

edit: lol at toms edit

 

yea the cat is pretty shitty sounding. So the only way i am gonna fit in another cat is if its the stock? and be able to pass the emissions?

 

Unless you have a emissions friendly blow off valve then you are not gonna pass emissions! you better get crackalackin!

 

ok i looked at my parts list. I just got the car and apparently it has a carsound 2.5" cat. Any more advice? and by the way its already passed emissions once with the previous owner, so why shouldn't it pass now.

 

I think you should trade me your hondata/cat/header/exhaust for my stock pieces, guaranteed to pass emissions

 

step off RJ! i asked first

 

haha sorry guys i like what i have.

 

then deal with it.

 

What car is this for?

j00 sure it's not the b-pipe?

 

Or the heatshield....

 

Wait a min...

How many miles on your caR?

doesn't he/she have a emissions warranty that lasts rather long???

the dealer should be replacing it for free if under the warranty.

Oh well then I guess this person has to fork over the cash to get something that will pass.

 

you could always go to a gas station and pay for the sticker. they prob won't even bother looking your car over and just lay the sticker on

 

ebay

 

i ran into the same scenario. i had a carsound 2.5" cat that wouldnt pass smog so I bought a stock cat and modified it to bolt onto my header/exhaust and passed no problem i bought my stock cat here on h-t for 60$ btw
