Catalytic converter replacement typically costs $300–$2,700 depending on the vehicle, with OEM dealer pricing for a Honda Pilot or Ford Fusion running $900–$2,700 and quality aftermarket EPA-certified replacements available in the $150–$600 range before labor.
The wide price spread comes down to three variables: whether you choose OEM or aftermarket, the vehicle platform, and who installs it. A Honda Pilot with a 3.5L V6 has three converter positions — Bank 1, Bank 2, and rear — and each carries a different OEM part number and price. Aftermarket catalytic converters that carry EPA Federal Standard certification deliver the same emissions compliance at a fraction of the dealer cost, provided the unit cross-references the correct OEM part number for your specific engine and model year.
