I'm trying to find a compatible catalytic converter for my 00 HX.

A lot of sites list the converter compatible for CX, LX and DX but don't list HX cars. Can anyone help me with this? I've emailed Dorman with no response.

OEM may be ur only choice.

No advice on this? OEM isn't an option for since 1) They cost too much and 2) I find it hard to believe no one makes an aftermarket part for this.

Every site I seem to find lists the part being compatible with the CX, LX and DX cars. Here is the part I'm referencing.

Can anyone provide clarification as to why the above manifolds would fit a 96-98 HX but not a 99 or 00?

The only aftermarket manifold I can find online is a $350 Magnaflow model.

Any input would be appreciate.

Those CATS you listed are compatible with your car, even though its not listed. Idk why those sites dont list an HX

Weird...I'd love to get some verification from Dorman as they've got a unit that says it fits 96-98 HX models at my local parts store, and offers a lifetime warranty. I'd like to go with this model for the warranty alone. Guess I"ll have to call Dorman directly.

Does anyone know if there was an engine difference in the 99-00 HX models compared to the 96-98 HX model?

Despite the model differences the exhaust should be very close.

You'd think this wouldn't be such rocket science. I'd like to hear from some actual HX owners to see where they possibly got replacements (and possibly the brand). I know there were cosmetic differences between the 96-98 models but I didn't think there were engine differences.

I have a '00 HX.

Here are the main points you need to know:

- SOHC D-series exhuast manifolds are physically interchangeable.
- The HX has the CAT in the manifold and has 1, o2 sensor bung before the cat and 1 o2 bung after the cat in the manifold
- If you live in CA, make sure the cat/manifold has the mounts for the OEM heat shield.

Thanks for the clarification. You pretty much backed up what I had thought, it just makes so sense to me why some of these online retailers contradict other online retailers. Hell...I just want to buy the damn thing.

all manifolds for 96-00 for cx dx lx hx are the same..

i believe that goes for 92-95 as well..
