It should last the life of the car if you maintain the car as you should. Let the engine start running rich and do nothing to repair this condition and it will destroy the converter.

How do you clean the EGR port on a 1999 Honda Odyssey?
I had a similar trouble on a 2000 Odyssey. I replaced the egr myself, but the trouble returned. I then had Firestone check it and they did the same thing and cleaned the port. However the check engine light and the same trouble code kept coming back. I took it to the Honda dealer next and the they replaced the egr valve (again) and the catalytic converter (there was a code for the catalytic converter also.) It was all done under waranty with no charge, I had 78K miles and the waranty expired at 80K miles. I am now at 114k miles and have not had that problem again. Good luck.
