Catalytic converter. You can't convert your Honda to a Cadillac, there's too much labor involved.

Take it to the dealer, Honda put an extended warranty on the LX cats because of a faulty casting process. They should replace it for free.

lol ^^ Yea, buyin any used exhaust is kinda a waste of money especially a catalytic converter. I bet if u shop around u can find one even cheaper..and just have ur dad weld it on and u should be fine.

if its just a crack, try the muffler mend stuff they have at the store.

If you don't want to spend a lot of money on the converter then buy it used. Used parts, as long as they are ok, will do fine. You don't have to buy new, especially if the used one will last untill you get rid of the car in a few years. check the junkyards and see what they can turn up for you.
