Dealer markup is about 60%. This means approximately $120 wholesale price.
OEM is likely made to higher standards than aftermarket offerings,
accounting for any other difference in price.

Honda has been fanatically "green" since the early '70s. They put LOTS of
money into emissions components, and buy the best from their suppliers.

OEM Honda cats are of wildly excellent quality, which is partially why they
cost a thousand dollars new and last the life of the car when cared for.
