Re: catalytic converter question (justinrl613)
Many states do not allow the sale of used convertors, including my home state, GA.
If you live in an area that requires a convertor in order to pass state emissions than I suggest buying a new convertor. OE Honda ones from the dealership will be the BEST, but also retarded expensive. Aftermarket bolt-on convertors will be 1/3 the price of an OE one, but they don't last as long before they throw the dreaded check engine code P0420 - catalyst efficiency low, bank one.
Ask me how I know?
