Reputable Catalytic Converter Company
The Vehicle in question is a 2000 Honda Odyssey.
Recently threw a P0420 code.
Upon reading on AllData and performing the tests needed with the code
as well as snooping around the forums,
I have concluded that the Van needs a new converter.
I have read that the magnaflow cat from summit works well.
but I just did a general search for cat and came up with a variety of different companies.
I know magnaflow is a good company,
but does anyone have any experience with replacing a cat with OE specs?
one site has the following listed as OE replacements:
Benchmark
Bosal
Catco
Davico
Eastern
The only ones I have heard of are Benchmark and Catco.
Appreciate a little help and info from you guys.
Thanks In Advance!

Re: Reputable Catalytic Converter Company
Just a little insight, the good inexpensive cats are coming from Canada... Why because the mining operation for platinum is located there as well as the plants that make them.
I purchased replacement cats for my 4Runner from a company off eBay, Muffler Express Distribution, username mufexpress, even though they are technically not legal on CA, my truck passed smog easily and they were a simple bolt on units.
As for pricing they couldn't be beat.....
here's a link to see if they have one for your vehicle

just looked and he does sell them for your vehicle
