Catalytic Converter for 2001 Accord EX
My catalytic converter needs to be replaced. It has a seriously loud rattling sound. Several mechanics from different shops have said it's the converter, not just a heat shield.
I don't have to worry about it passing emissions certification as there's no testing here in Kentucky.
Based on what I've found by searching here the Honda OEM part is too expensive and not really needed. Is that still correct?
I'm not interested in DIY. I'll probably take it to a local muffler shop or other service guy. My regular independent mechanic recommended I take it to a muffler shop where they could weld in a generic cat.
Are there bolt-in replacements for my car?
I don't need anything fancy.
