Just make sure stainless steel bolts are same strength as honda bolts.

Awesome video! Great job! I'm doing this today! Got a quote for replacing catalytic converter, valve cover, gasket and air filter from local shop. They told me 1060 plus 130 diagnostic test. I told them to park it outside. Spent 140 online for the parts and of course I have to do the work but it's well worth it!

A little trick for the bolts. Turn the nut upside down and screw about halfway onto bolt. Then strike the nut surface with the hammer. No risk of damaging threads this way. Cheers.

Nice vid. Clear, easy to hear, reasonably easy to see, and straight to the point. Couple of things: 1) I've seen someone else do this and they found that the bolts were soldered or tack-welded to the cat flanges, so you're lucky they came loose as readily as they did. I might've suggested screwing the nuts onto the ends of the bolts to protect the threads from being deformed by the hammer. 2) I'd advise putting a very small amount of anti-sieze compound on the O2 sensor threads (careful not to get any on the business end of the sensor!) so it doesn't corrode into place.

I forgot you can just un plug the sensor from under the car while replacing the converter. Mine is burnt out, it used to make the rattle noises but the burnt up honey comb had fallin out the exhaust muffler after i shaked it out. You made this eaiser than i thought, im ordering a new one so i can just do it knowing itll be easy, its a 02 Coupeccord lmao. Thanks bro

I might need to replace my cat soon on my 2005 Honda Accord (it's throwing a p0420 code) and watching this video made me way more confident that I can do it myself. Love when I can do things myself and not pay someone 300-plus dollars just for labor and then more for parts. now I just got to figure out if the problem is my O2 sensors or my cat. Thanks!

at the 2:00 min mark, what is that other thing on the same exhaust path? It is nearer the front than the CC. I am not able to remove the nuts, as they are rusted on, and try to strip when I use wrench or sockets. Was thinking I might cut the pipe before and after the CC, remove and use a grinder to get rid of the old nuts and bolts, then use an adapter on both ends to reinstall the ends with the 3 holes for bolting on the CC. Any suggestions? Does that part at 2:00 also need replacing? TIA

Many people say to use a pipe, crowbar, or something to hollow out the cat. Then all of the pieces will fall out and you are supposed to be able to gain one whole horsepower. However, you will have a check engine light the whole time, and there is a chance that you will breathe in metal dust. Also, it is illegal in many places.

Catalytic converters have platinum and palladium, which are both extremely valuable. The other thing that goes into how expensive cat's are is whether it's an OEM part (~$1,300 for one that would fit this Accord) or California compliant (~$400). California-compliant simply means it's more efficient and will clean emissions better.
