Does Hyundaitech (the coolest tech on earth) know where to
buy a catalytic converter for 2001 accent 1.5L EPA California
approved model? this could be re manufactured or new
the dealer wants $827 for it. The only other ones I
have been able to find are non EPA type, which I assume
do not have O2 sensor port hole or wont pass smog
inspection. Does anyone know where to get a better price?

 

sorry, i should have mentioned the part number is
28510-22660

 

I'm not familiar with converter sources outside the dealer, but if you have
less than 70,000 miles on your car the converter should still be covered
under the California emissions warranty.

 

If HT's suggestion doesnt work, try a junkyard for a low mileage car.....I
wouldnt think that Hyundai changes the sizes of coverters to much so you may
be able to match one up from a differant model.

same as above OEM catalytic convertor from "convertor geeks"
part number 654-134
308.00
This is the EPA approved California model OBII type, not an aftermarket
type

But please note: on the heat shield of the catalytic convertor is an
