Probably got the same quandary on the Civ.
I think it's a rattling heatshield, but it seems down on power on the last 1,000 rpm so I wonder if the cat matrix is disintegrating & blocking the pipe.
I've always used Honda OEM parts, but the cat is a tad pricey. Might look at a US import, transport costs permitting. You can bet if HUK wants 8.5 hunderd, they'll want 8.5 hundred bucks.
I don't trust Bosal/Timax replica cats.
Don't know if there's a suitable rice cat.

£758 for a 94 VTi vs $448.46 or £284
Oi HUK; leave the bladder & kidneys behind when you rip the piss!

Mine gets tested and passes with a DECAT the only stipulation from my 'friendly' garage is that the cat is 'on' the car - i ensure i pop it in the boot before each MOT just in case he wants to test it

If anyone wants a use of a cat for MOT I've one sat in the garage since I have a HFC now. Can be picked up in North Wales, Manchester or Kidderminster with a bit of notice, or sent out at cost of P&P.
