Where is the best place to find a Catalytic Convertor
For my 2000 SSEi, the mechanic I am going to is telling me it can only come from the dealer only, but I know thats not true, I have seen aftermarket setups.
So anyone know the cheapest place to find one online i can order?

Do you HAVE to get a factory-fit one?
You can get universal cats for less than 100 bucks....real cheap if you look on ebay and have the time to wait for it.
And...sell your old converter on ebay as well. It may very well pay for your new one

Just measure your pipe, it'll likely be 2.5" or 2.25"
And yeah the 2.5" is the 91006 Magnaflow Cat
Here it is here for just over $60:
