WTB: 99-00 EX Catalytic Converter (& Headers...?)

as the title states, i need a catalytic converter that will fit a 99 civic ex coupe. i dont care if its used, but i need it to be in good condition. mainly as least amount of rust as possible and no leaks/cracks/etc. it would be helpful if the heatshield was included as well as the 4 bolts that hold the heatshield and converter together. and any gaskets if there are any.

leave a price (+ rough shipping estimate if possible) and pics if u have any. can pm me or use aim link at the side profile.

---

also, i may be interested in some headers. like 4-2-1 dc ceramics or something. prefer used and decent condition (no leaks/cracks...no major dents, dings, scratches, etc). I DO NOT WANT STAINLESS STEEL HEADERS. its bolded so u cant miss it.

leave a price (+ rough shipping estimate if possible) and pics if u have any. can pm me or use aim link at the side profile.

question?

do you want the cat because it has gona bad or because it was not on the car.

if it went bad, then do what i did. honda gives an 8/80k warranty in which they replace the cat free of charge. THis happened to me and i got it replaced for free. If you want to add it because it wan't there, give this a shot....

He's selling it for $100. The dealer will charge you around $1500. Atleast, that's what he tried to charge me before he found out that the car was under warranty. The look on his face was priceless. :lol:

holy s**t why do cats run so much money from honda parts websites? i thought that was just a joke or something.

and i have a cat on my car right now. its just its rusted beyond belief and it leaks. i can hear it when i hit the gas. i need the whole new converter and the 4 bolts.

Like i said above. If it is f'ed up and throws a CEL. I believe code 67. Than take it to the dealership and have them change it for free because i noticed that you have a 99ex and this is the last year that your car is under warranty for a cat.

I personally don't have anywords to tell why the hell they are so expensive.

here are two comparisons.

Does the sound only come when you let go of the gas? If so then its a code 67 and your cat is finished. The same s**t happened to me and i was scared as hell.

I have a cat. no codes, ran perfect just removed because it wasn't compatable with my new header. Not much to look at but it functioned perfectly with both my D16 and B16. Cheap.
