I'm looking to purchase a integra RS. The owner say the check engine light just came on. He took it to the mechanic, and the mechanic say there is something related to the catalytic converter has an exhaust leak.
My questions:
Is this a serious problem?
How much would it cost me to fix it?

any advice thanks....

 

anybody??? had this problem before

 

not too serious a problem, it will drive fine but definetly get it fixed. take it to a muffler shop and have them weld and seal the leak, shouldn't cost more than $40, if ur cat is bad a carsound cat can range from 60-100 depending on where u get it.

 

thanks. i'll definitely give it a try

 

what year is your rs? cause 96-97 integra has a extended warranty for emissions if its under 150k and under 14 years which includes replacing a cat & o2 sensor saving your $1400 FTW
