Just as the title says i want to buy a new one but don't know if i could just get one from ebay or a universal one,does it matter ??.Don't have a lot of cash to spend

 

[borderlineracin]

depends on what state u live in i no in mass if u have a 95 or older u can run a stright pipe and dont need a cat but 96 and newer u have to pass emissons and i no 98s have a 02 sensor on it so u prob wanna get a cat that has the o2 sendor port on it

My friend has a Prelude here in California and he uses a hi-flow cat, which I thought wouldn't pass, but he got by with it. We have the worst smog regulations

Makes sense, but you passed CA smog... Usually you don't replace until you need to rgardless of age.
why are you bypassing the o2
