How long has your 2006 Honda Pilot had this problem?
I just bought this from my cousin in New Jersey had it for a month and these problems are really a pain
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Honda Pilot. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
This means your catalytic converter is not working efficiently. This could be because of a bad CAT or a bad o2 sensor. If you want to roll the dice you could replace the rear o2 sensors but I suggest getting it inspected and diagnosed before spending any money.

IF upstream O2 AND downstream O2 are readings are same - cat is depleted .. It's as simple as that!
Scan tool with live sensor data will be required for testing.
