I have 115K and the check engine light stays on. For a few months it would
clear itself and come back on a week or so later. It is a Code 67 for Low
Catalytic Emissions threshhold. Honda parts want over $700 for the cat! I
have searched the net and found only a couple listed as direct fit. Any
suggestions on a reputable aftemarket seller. Also, is the O2 sensor
difficult to remove and put in the new cat (hopefully the new cat will come
with the hole for it!). Or am I better off buying a sensor also? Thanks in
advance for any help.

I think the emissions systems, including cat, are
warranted beyond the 3 year honda warranty by
law. It is worth a "look see". But $700! I am
pretty sure that a new 02 sensor is required for the
cat's warranty OEM or aftermarket anyhow.

There is a special 02 wrench for removing them.
It is a big socket that has a slot for the wire. A
1/2" drive deep socket of the correct size can
be used to get an old one out if you cut the wire(s).
