Is your quote fair?

A quote between $287 and $700 is inside the band where half of all Honda Accord catalytic converter replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (universal converter welded in, one sensor reused); above it is not automatically gouging (OEM direct-fit unit, two converters on a V-engine, new oxygen sensors, California-emissions parts) — but both ends deserve a question.

What moves the price

OEM vs. aftermarket — OEM converters cost multiples of aftermarket; some states require specific certifications.
One or two — V6 and V8 engines have one per bank.
Root cause — a converter killed by misfires or oil burning will die again unless the cause is fixed first.
