Hello All,
This is my first time on this site. I have 147,000 on my ex and found out that I need a catalytic converter. I am going to do the work. I am clueless as to which after market brand to buy. I am looking for a bolt on with some improvement with performance. Any suggestions. I was looking at
a BOSAL that comes with the header pipe. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Thx,
Jim

 

I've never heard of bosal.

If you want a little more HP get a Magnaflow Direct-fit High Flow Catalytic Converter off of summitracing.com

 

Thanks trustdestruction, I checked out summit they only have a Magnaflow
up to the 2000 model. They did have a Pacesetter? Ever hear anything about it? I am alittle concerned because I read somewhere that some guy had to put 3 different CC on before he had to go to the dealer for one. I don't have the funds or desire to go thru all that crap. Just to end up paying 900.00 for one. I am also changing both oxygen sensors.

 

not sure about pacesetter
not sure about this brand either but it's probably good
go to partstrain.com and search for "Eastern Catalytic Converter 2001-2005 Honda Civic" and it'll be the 7th one down.
Might not give you any more HP but it has a good price and is probably decent.

If the pacesetter one is bolt on i'd probably get that one.

 

Thanks again trustdestruction. I checked out both manuf websites. Both sound decent. I agree. I think I will go with the Pacesetter.
