I ask the dealer but they ask for to much 1,200 I need something cheaper.

Raul Romo says:

@rmh51 I believe bank 1 is the same converter that I replaced. It’s the one
at the firewall.

Raul Romo says:

Use some type of spray like wd40 or loosening type spray to brake the bolts

Raul Romo says:

you do not have to replace the pipe, unless it has holes in it. i would run
a scanner on it first, so you know what codes come up. this will tell you
what is wrong. mine had code p0420, which means bad cat. mine has 3 of
them. it told me which one it was, and i confirmed that info, with my local
honda dealer, where i bought the parts

Raul Romo says:

@ nostalgiamelancolia1. You don’t have to change out the pipe , unless
there are holes in it. But that wouldn’t cause check engine light to come
on. Faulty cat convertor would.

i have no code on my 99 accord – but there’s definitely a rattle inside the
catcon…sounds like a piece has broken off. i passed inspection last week
so it’s working, but i don’t want that piece to clog it off. of course i
don’t want to pay 600 to get a replacement either. trying to figure out if
i can diy it…. did my timing belt last year, this should be cake if i can
get it out, right? i’m sure those bots are rusted to hell – but that’s what
the impact is for.

Kelly Chavez says:

I have a question where can I buy the catalytic for a Honda accord 03
please help!:)

Raul Romo says:

Hey Kelly, only place to buy the catalytic convertor is at the dealer. If
you have them do it, it’s expensive. I bought mine at the dealer. It was
about $480-$500 for actual catalytic convertor. I did buy 02 sensors, metal
gasket, bolts & nuts. I spent under $900 but I did get a shop discount

i have 2003 accord v6, and how many converters are there? 3? do i need to
change all 3?

Raul Romo says:

It was tough making a video and working on the car at the same time. I need
to get me an assistant.

Raul Romo says:

@ballingm23. I would take your car to autozone, where they can run a
scanner to see what codes pop up. This will tell you which converter or
converters are bad. I replaced the converter that was at the rear of the
motor, by the firewall, and also replaced the 02 sensor that was next to it.

ballinGm23 says:

hey how did u remove the two bolts on the bottom of front cat? how did u
loosen it up, i tried to take it off, but it didnt budge.

KILLA whigger says:

Cool video thanks for taking the time to make and post!!

Thanks for the post. I am trying to replace the same part in my 2005
Accord. When ordering the part, is the one near the firewall synonymous
with “bank 1” and the “rear converter”? I just don’t want to order the
wrong part. Thanks.
