Default exhaust system

I'm changing out my exhaust system to megan racing header and cat back. But because I have a LX and the new system will be for the EX I also need to find a cat converter. does anyone know where I can get a hi flow one for less than 250 bucks? Thanks

I searched for 15 minutes and couldn't find a cheap converter for the 05. Ebay works wonders though! Make sure they are a very reputable seller if you go the ebay way....

Watch out for emissions though, i ordered a high-flow cat from ebay, and the inside of it looked EXACTLY like the inside of my muffler. No restrictions whatsoever, so if you want to be emissions-legal, i dont think ebay is the way to go, but performance-wise i'm sure it'll be good. (i ordered the wrong cat so i never got to install it, or else i'd tell you what i thought of mine.)

Check out Random-Technologies. Don't know if they make one specifically for your app, but from what I hear they're one of the best

Saw the one from Random Tech, 249.00. hoping that the OEM cat on the EX is bolt on, that way I can get the stock cat from salvage yard until more comes out for the 05. Does anyone know if the stock ex cat is bolt on? also how restrictive is the stock cat over the random tech hi flow one?
