It's very illegal to install a used catalytic converter and it's not supposed to pass inspection...for whatever that's worth.

As for the federally mandated emissions warranty:

There are three specified major emission control components,
covered for the first 8 years or 80,000 miles of vehicle use on 1995
and newer vehicles:

* Catalytic converters.

* The electronic emissions control unit or computer (ECU).

* The onboard emissions diagnostic device or computer (OBD).
The rest are required to be covered for 2 years / 24,000 miles.
