Any muffler shop can sell you an aftermarket cat. Do not expect proper fit,
and do not expect fine build quality. Those properties are found only on
OEM cats.
But OEM will be horribly expensive, so aftermarket is often the only
realistic option for most people.
I'm currently running an aftermarket Walker on my Integra. The OEM one
rusted out a couple of years ago, and Honda has discontinued the OEM cats.
The Walker is appallingly poorly-made and does not fit well, but did
function correctly as far as its first smog-check went. How it will perform
next year is a question mark.

You multi-posted this identical message to alt.autos.honda. I replied
there, adding proper crossposting to this group. Somebody's server balked
at that, so the crosspost has not shown up here. I'm therefore reposting my
reply below, independently...

Another option is a used one off a junker.
