I don't have that kind of cash, so does anybody know if I can get an aftermarket catalytic converter online for cheap that would pass the tests? Also, should I try the install or should I take it somewhere? Also, does anybody have any clue how much coin I should expect to drop on this little repair if I let somebody else install it?
Thanks

You can get an oem replacement cat off of ebay for a 94-97 accord or CL and install it yourself it's like 6 bolts, or take it to meineke or an exhaust shop, and pay maybe $50-100

remove you old bracket and plate. Take your plate and ziptie to the holes located in the middle of your bumper. Cut off excess ziptie and you're good to go. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes...

to install the plate locator, you have to drill holes in your bumper, to ziptie it which isn't crappy btw, the holes are already made in the opening in your bumper, look up in the center, two holes are already there...

iPod?
Could some one do an official one for hooking up your iPod to the stock stereo? I am considering doing this, but am wondering how much work and money I will have to put in. Also could I still use the controls on the steering wheel? and would it charge my iPod?

Bagel Bomber
Just replace the fuel filter on a 3.0 yesterday along with distributor cap, ignition rotor, pcv valve and other easy things.
Should have probably done a DIY for at least the fuel filter but its not that hard. Hardest part is reaching the screws that hold the filter mounting bracket. Anyways if anyone needs some help just let me know.

I'm not sure if there's already one (I searched, didn't find anything) but I'm sure someone's done it.
DIY on swapping an automatic tranny with a manual for 97 CL.
Thanks, it would be so much help.

I checked the noob guide for the 97 rotors and this is what I found.
"NOTE: the 97 front rotors are a hub-over-rotor design which means that you'll need to get them pressed on and off with a machine. Most places charge $200+ for this kind of job. Just FYI."
But still is there a way to do it yourself. Also, for the rear, what bolts am I supposed to unscrew? One of the ones I think i have to unscrew is a pain in the ass to reach.
