you honestly think you'll be getting a real catalytic converter for 10 bucks? Newsflash, real cats from the dealership can cost upwards of a grand, if you bid on that, you're getting an empty pipe, gauranteed NOT to pass emissions. What you need to do is find an OEM honda cat, either here on HT or at a junkyard or something, install it and you'll be fine. You could even get an aftermaket such as a magnaflow cat. I've worked with them, they make a good affordable product (50-250 bucks). If you take a generic size to a muffler shop they can weld it in, and then weld your secondary o2 sensor downstream of the cat and it should be fine.

 

any help anyone?
