Ive been hearing this rattle noise for the past 3 days, so I took it to the shop this morning and said my catalytic converter was bad. Does anyone know a name brand i should get and/or a site? I have a 99 honda civic. Thanks

Random Technology... cheaper and better then OEM IMO.

BTW, a rattle generally means bad muffler, I would have that checked first and make sure these guys aren't just tring to sell you more than you need. cat's are not cheap and you can probably do it you self, but they will charge you quite a bit. Did theyput the car up on a ramp and run it to find the rattle? If so they should know for sure and they should have had you come out and see for your self.

thanks, he put it up on a ramp, and with his hand was banging the exhuast not hard and it was rattling and he want from back to front, and then to the cat and did it there and it rattled more that time, he said like 65 bucks to put it on.

$65 is normal... I would rather do it myself, but with the proper tools and a ramp, it's a pain... up to you I guess.

oopps.... I miss typed that, I ment with proper tools and set of ramps, it's not to bad. Anyway, I'm sure it's all rusted up, they normally are, so it's probably just best to have them do it. Good luck
