At first, I thought your pet cat went bad. Try to look around to see if there used cat for sale

there is usually one in the classifieds section.

California Rule #1, never sell/give away/trash your Cat Conv. Always keep it as it will come in handy.

That place is not good if you live in California they wont even ship there. Some places wont even install your cat if its not in the cat bible. Honda is charging up the yang because of the stuff that its made from. Your best bet is go here part number 18160-pnf-a01(http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/auto/jsp/mws/prddisplay.jsp?inputstate=5&catcgry1=CIVIC&catcgry2=2003&catcgry3=3DR+SI&catcgry4=KA5MT&catcgry5=EXHAUST+PIPE+-+MUFFLER). This is by far the cheapest place for what you need and having it be oem. Along with numbers 13 & 16 from the image seen on the link which is the gaskets. I had the same issue engine code p0420 and past smog after changing the o2 sensors front and rear and patching up any exhaust leaks and having my cat be bad through smog test. Hope this helps I feel your pain.

Check out rockauto.com
Direct fit $189 not legal in Cali though

Magnaflow makes a high flow cat

Scince emmision in cali is such a P.I.A. might try to get OEM, I think they use platinum thats why there expensive.

I have a cat that I don't need with 100k. She's black with white spots. JK but no really it's still on the car connected to the midpipe, but I'm about to throw in a race header in there. Don't really know how much they go for. Im going to be gone out of state for the weekend though.

seems hopeless... $700 is still a lot of money... any body know a mechanic in SoCal who can hook me up?
