I would get another opinion and a more detailed explanation.

If you do need a cat convertor I would get an after market one. I believe
they are less than $200.

On my 96 Accord I used the secret emmission warranty last year and they had
to replace an O2 sensor. The sensor was seized in the cat convertor so they
replaced the cat for free. They also put in new cap, rotor, wires, and
plugs. The bill would have been about $1200 according to the paperwork but
it was all free to me. So the $800 doesn't seem to unreasonable for a
dealer to put on an OEM part. But if I were paying out of pocket I would
not go OEM on this.
