how much should i expect to pay.....
1998 honda accord 4-door....entire exhaust system (catalytic converter, mid-pipe & rear muffler) INSTALL ONLY??? all the parts came in last week & are ready to be put on
:yay:
also, my CEL light has been on & when i had aoto zone check the code, it came up as 02 sensor. i assume it was the sensor reading improperly since the guts of the catalytic converter busted & it was pretty much non-functioning. i'm assuming that if i take the battery loose long enough for the code to clear that is all i need to do???
if it comes back up, then i'd assume that i also have a bad 02 sensor??? if so, will the code tell me if it is the one on the header or the one on the catalytic converter???

Yeah, not that hard to do yourself but not having a lift makes the job... less enticing. As far as the CEL, not having a (working) cat. on there could be the reason, I'd wait until you have the new exhaust on there and then clear the code - pull fuse or battery like you mentioned, battery is the more surefire bet.
If it comes up again I'd clear it once more after driving the car a little while before deciding to replace the sensor, and you should be able to tell which one with the scanner. If it's secondary, not primary, I'm not sure if you really need to replace it.

in an ideal world...yeah, but no lift, no tools, & basically i'm lazy
buddy that originally put it on said he'd do it for $75......& thinks he knows somebody that might want the greddy system for $125

If you knew the actual CEL error code number, it would have already told you which sensor. If it's the primary (front) sensor then it has nothing to do with the busted cat.

well, ended up getting the greddy cat-back taken off & a new cat & factory exhaust put on....ahhh the sound of quiet 
the guy that swapped it out did it in exchange for my greddy system....that i had intended on just putting in the dumpster
:yay:
pulled the battery to reset the CEL code & it hasn't returned & my gas mileage has gone up almost 10mpg
