Catalytic Converter Help pls!

My Cat came apart yesterday while on my way to work. It sounds like garbage. I have searched through many threads looking for a good Aftermarket cat finding no real solid answer. Ive read magnaflow makes a 65$ cat but i cant seem to find it.I took it in to a local shop and they wanted 600$ to replace the cat which i thought was extremely rediculous. I have sinced ordered a megan header with the test pipe for now.

I really would just like a link or part no. for a cheap cat that will work =D


Thanks for all your help

Cheap catalytic converter? No such thing. My Milltek set me back over a grand. $600 is about right for the low end stock replacements.

The stock CAT will probably give you the longest life, they seem to hold up to the heat best esp. with a header. Shame you already ordered the header, the V2 I just installes was $1150.00 CAT uncluded.

I'm running this part # with my header. I custom cut it and welded on flanges to fit my header. Note my test pipe would not have mated up properly to my stock catback. The length and angles were incorrect.

Here's my thread from a couple years back on my header and cat install(similar/same to Meagan).
