I bought my EP3 new in September 2003 and have enjoyed 188,000 miles on it. It is 99.9% OEM/stock, has been meticulously maintained and much loved. Unfortunately, it now needs a catalytic converter and I live in California. The cost of replacing the converter with a Honda OEM part doesn't make sense given all the other financial needs of my family and I have been told that a 3rd party converter will not function correctly with the emissions system. Lastly, I am not a mechanic of any sorts.

What do the enthusiasts of EPHATCH suggest I do??

Thank you...
