you can probably get one online or something they go for around 250 for the aftermarket ones because the dealer cats are way over priced. But if you just needed to pass smog i would have lent you mine sorry for not being that much help.

joon,
dont bother picking up one at the dealer. it is very pricey. even with my discount, you are still looking around $700
you are better off try to see if anyone is selling a used one, eBay, or classified ads.
you can also try car dismantling like HAP or LKQ.
I might be going to a car dismantling this weekend. I try to look for you one there and give you a call

Basically, I'm getting this annoying rattling @ idle, underneath the mid section of the car...and I've read that the rattling is from the CAT when the honeycomb part breaks off and starts to move around in there
and also, i get this weird exhaust smell...
other than that the car runs fine.

it might but it might not the only thing that the second o2 sensor measures is cat efficiency so right now since its broken inside its probably not getting a significantly noticable difference in gas measurements between the two o2 sensors but good luck in finding a cat maybe you can just go with a test pipe for the meantime.
