Catalytic Converter - 2000 Honda Accord
Hey everyone,
I have a 2000 Honda Accord and need a new Catalytic Converter. The mechanic told me that he has to get the converter from the dealer and that the whole job will run to $1100.00. But I just looked at this site which sells them for anywhere between $90 - $300 for Honda Accords (2000). http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/ap...00&modelid=360 So my question is, is my mechanic ripping me off or can I really use one of these catalytic converters from this site and save myself $700? Does the part really have to come from the dealer? Thanks for your input! |

Modern emissions limits are so drastically low (I'd say "stupidly low"), that the equipment is operating close to capacity. Chances are that cat would have been just fine running on a 1991 car, but modern OBD is forced by law to declare it dead. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
