Hi,
I have been hearing a rattle from the catalytic converter and I am thinking
about having it replaced. I checked online but found out that there are
different sizes for my car. How do I find out what size I need? This is for
a 91 Civic Std. HB. Thanks for the help.

Before you take the rather extreme step of replacing your cat, check the
heat shields. They rust out and come loose at the bolt holes.

You can either pull them off entirely, clamp them down with a large hose
clamp (which I've done on mine), or buy new ones at the dealer for about
$20-$30 each.
