I need to replace my cat soon, but the dealer quoted me $750 or somethin like that. I saw a bunch of hi-flow cats (94-97 accord) on ebay, but are those street legal?

AAP.org has just the stock cat for $375...

any opinions on what I should do?

 

Pretty much all of the e bay ones wouldnt pass emissions/arent street legal. Id order a universal carsound cat online somewhere and get the exhaust shop to put it on. They run about $100 and install should still put you well below 375.

 

If you still have under 80k miles the dealer should put in a new one.

 

hmm i do have an extended warranty...

i'm gonna go do the research on that.

xrunner, thanks for the info, i found a couple for about $130-145. that's what i was worried about for the ones on ebay, not passing emissions or something.

 

I had a cat problem on my 3.0 cl. The dealer wanted $1010.00 for mine. I got mine from random tech outta so. cal. look at their website. i paid $250 shipped with all the brackets.

 

nice, thanks npc. how much was it to install?

 

our cats are covered under warraty for 80,000 miles if you got extended or not. take it to the dealer.

 

get a universal carsound cat. i think magnaflow bought them out. it will be like $80 its better flowing and will pass emissions. install will be another 70 to get flanges welded on and o2 bung etc

 

thanks mike, is there a website for that? basically the only thing im worried about is cost and passing emissions. that one you mentioned is mad cheap.

viper, thanks but i have 95k

 

u shouldnt spend more than $250

 

carsound makes quality stuff. ask around. they are so cheap becuase they prob sell more cats then anybody else. especially for oe replacement. you will have absolutely no probs with a carsound cat. you can go to magnaflows website for info. im pretty sure they own them now.
