Anyone know where you can get a converter cheap?? I'd rather put my money into the motor.Like I said if I have to I will but if I can save a hundred bucks or so that'd be great.Where the cheapest place I can get a decent one,junkyard maybe?? Which cars are interchangeable?? I have an 88 civic hatch. Thanks for all the info guys.

I was looking at those too. Too cheap and too much like a resonator. We just ditched e-check here in Ohio, but I'm sure those bastards will come up with something else.
Like yellowrex said, muffler shops usually have them at a reasonable price.

Definitely don't waste your money on that thing.
Repalcement Auto Parts sells some pretty good inexpensive cats on ebay. I've used two of them so far (on two different vehicles) and passed emissions with flying colors.
