the cat isn't hard to get...but it's pricey.

EDIT: to check the cat use a rubber mallet, so it doesn't make a ding everytime you wack the cat(lol), and listen for any loose bits inside rattling.

you need to get your car high, that is the only problem. light up a blunt or 2 and blow the smoke into the TB. should fix the problem

99 V6 Magnaflow cat

I guess this one is better quality but still from magnaflow listing says oddesy but looks like the Accord,CL and oddessy all used the same cat.
OEM Grade Magna Flow Cat

I got the info off the Magnaflow site if u wanna double check. The First one is cheaper by like 100 bucks and should get the job done.

I'd honestly recommend muffexpress on ebay.

They are local to me but their parts carry a 4 year or 80000k warranty. And their aftermarket cat converter is the only one that had me pass emissions.

As for the fouler, look on ebay for o2 simulator, spark plug non fouler etc.

I gotta get out there sometime and see if i can do that little trick to see if anything is rattling. Because my car was in the shop about a year ago and they replaced an o2 sensor, said the other one was fine.
My car was running lean for about a year due to the o2 sensor going out...could that possibly have anything to do with the cat?

advance and autozone also carry the non fouler's they're called spark plug non-foulers. when I got a magniflow cat it through the same code. non fouler fixed it.

Hey guys, the I noticed on the way home tonight, that my CEL light is coming off and on every couple of days. Does that maybe help figure out what it may be?
