Thanks again 1A Auto parts! you guys saving me a ton from the Honda dealership. Plus, it help me get my car smogged regulated in CA. Btw, how many thousands of miles do you guys recommend changing both the down and upstream 02 Sensors?

I can't even believe this channel, saved my life. xD I had to replace my whole suspension on my 2002 Honda Civic Ex after a bad accident. I wouldn't have known how to do it if it wasn't for these videos. So in return for all the information, in a quick, detailed manner, I did get all my parts through them. Same price as eBay, but they won't let you buy things that don't fit in your car and make sure you are getting the right things. I almost got the wrong bolt pattern for my rim, almost got 4×125 instead of 4×100, but they emailed me to make sure before sending and knew the stock bolt pattern and asked if I had an aftermarket Knuckle to make sure. I said no and they sent the 4×100 so it would fit. 😀 Thanks guys! I am getting a new cat next month because I have the P-0420 code. I tried switching both O2 censors and still passed smog somehow, but going uphill, she slows down.
Seems like something I could do myself but when I took my Civic to my local auto shops they made it sound a little more complicated than it is. They told me they have to know the engine family number. After watching this video looks as if I can just order the part from you guys and make a switch. One shop even quoted me as high as $1500. As much as possible I don’t want to do it myself because I don’t want to get under my car on my back. But, with the price so high I may have to get on my back and just get dirty.
will this part fit the EX model?
not true the hx has both cats
you forgot to put anti sieze on the threads of the O2 sensor Dude. Sure gonna be a bitch getting those things off next time
Are there torque specifications when tighten the "spring bolts" to the exhaust manifold (8:46)?
What size are the bolts that join the cat and midpipe?
Mine may be going bad on an 05 Civic and the price to do this is ridiculously expensive. So happy you showed me this. Not nearly worth the labor cost. Thank you for saving me hundreds.
Are you able to connect to back off the Catilatic converter before you bolt up the front part, and does the car have to be jack up on all four wheels.
i got a P0430 code for my chrysler 300 2.7 i went to 2 shops one told me my car needs a tune up the other one told me i need a new cat should i replace it ?
great vid – i have an '00 Honda CRV w/ a bad cat. Any info on those?
What are the bolt sizes(both sides) for 05 Impala 3.4 catalytic converter? Having a lot of trouble finding them online because I'm not sure the name to look up. Hopefully my b'laster will save the old ones.
my 2001 Honda civic has the cat on the exhaust manifold.
I have got a 2008 honda civic , the car is not revving above 4,000 nor picking up speed ! Will it need. Anew catalytic converter or can there be a cheap fix ?
Is this for a LX too? My catalytic converter looks way different.
What is the torque specs for the spring bolts?
Is this 50 state legal? I live in CARB country…
Since new, I have a 2005 Civic SI with low mileage and was just informed that I need a catalytic converter.
The check engine light has been on for 7 years, I paid the dealership to to do something, the first time I noticed it
and replaced the gas cap. They informed me it may come back on and it did in about 3 days.
For the last 4 years it never passes our E-test. Thanks for sharing, now I know what a catalytic converter is.
I think my cat is.going
So for an LX it would be the same as the earlier models?
Will the new catalytic converter make the car sound better?
That's awesome, there is no other 7th gen civic cat replace videos online. You guys posted this 2 weeks before I replace mine today. Thanks a lot. Let's hope I can get those bolts undone, yours look a lot better than mine.
