Default Catalytic Converter is missing!!!

I bought my 1999 Civic HX from a private party a few months ago. He sold me the car without a Catalytic Converter. I live in California, how, where and how much can I expect to pay for this thing?

Well, as far as I know it's illegal for junk yards to sell catalytic converters for ANY car in CALIFORNIA due to the strict emission laws. Any more suggestions???

Hey I live in San Diego and I go to El Monte all the time (relatives). Where exactly is this muffler place? Also, do really think a universal will work? I thought I had to purchase an original from the dealer due to the dumb laws out here...
