I called up the GM parts dealer for a price check on new cats, the left was $290, the right $330. Are there any decent quality aftermarket cats that are direct replacements? CatCo maybe? I've seen a lot of universal cats in shops, but with the way GM routed the dual cats it doesn't look like any of these will fit. Thanks for the help. I may just end up breaking down and shelling out the cash to the GM dealer, but I'd rather not, ya know?

A lot of people here have catco. I myself have two random technology. GM cats are expensive. You can get better flowing ones cheaper. I got mine from thunder racing for $160 each. I think catco is cheaper from Summit racing. Hope this helps.

I think Catco makes direct fit cats, but I'm not sure, I got universal cause I was replacing the whole thing

Thanks a lot. I just found and ordered direct fit Catcos from Summit. MUCH cheaper than GM, now I've got some spare cash for the new muffler, too!
