Hello fellow Honda drivers:

I have a 2003 Honda Accord EX 2.4 Liter DOHC 16-valve and flunked the Virginia emission inspection a few weeks ago. The inspector said I need a new catalytic converter and perhaps a front exhaust flex pipe. Can anyone recommend a decent quality converter and flex pipe? I've checked Rock Auto and they have both aftermarket (Ultra Power, Original Performance, Davico) and OE Design (Walker, Eastern, FVP, Davico, and Walker). I'm not sure which would be sufficient to pass inspection. Prices go from $147 to $600. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. tommy2003
