The dealer parts are expensive
Automotive Expert
you need to have the complete manifold for front converter

no. just need second opinion.
Automotive Expert
did you have a code stored for the [catalytic converter](/topics-catalytic-converter-honda/)

1119.00 price from honda dealer is good deal?
Automotive Expert
I would get one online and have a shop install it

dont know yet its still at dealer shop. He only stated converter. I checked at garage that replaced the whole emmisions system 2 yrs ago with ebay parts.ok, should it be on market parts?
Automotive Expert
Most [exhaust](/topics-exhaust/) repair shops can do it for less with a warranty
Automotive Expert
factory parts are better but you pay for them

ok. they ran it thru an inspection and sent the fail to NYS dmv. on 27th january. does that mean it has to be done quickly?
Automotive Expert
if you need to get the car registered you need to have it pass first

exhaust shops. Noted. Didnt think of that. thank you
Automotive Expert
Okay that's what I would do check with them also

car is already registered and insured. I didnt ask for the inspection, they just did it
Automotive Expert
Okay

trying to run the car hot with no inspection. Not good times.
Automotive Expert
Not good

not at all. did not even get the fail sticker. is that reportable?
Automotive Expert
Not sure in your area you can check the DMV

ok. I will check with NYS DMV. Thank you.
Automotive Expert
