Default Catalytic Converter Problem...

Ok so i was driving home one night at like 2 in the morning and all of a sudden my car gets REALLY loud. So im like WTF and i look under my car and my catalytic converter is dragging on the ground. The cat is all rusted out and i guess it just fell off. Anyway, im looking for a new one, and im wondering if installing one is DIY-able...??

What would be the best place to get one, also what should i consider when looking for one? Thanks




1995 Honda Accord 2.7 LX V6 4dr

depends on where it rusted and fell off and if the piping is rusted you might as well change that out as well otherwise its a bolt on and if you get the same muffler you wont have any problems with the o2 sensor placement either

NAPA has a line of cat converters, most are direct replacement and usually much cheaper than oem
