Need catalytic converter replacement

Looking to replace my catalytic converter with a new one. Any suggestions?

Still has the stock manifolds on it, with just a cat back Flowmaster system. It still has the stock converter on it, so I am just looking to do some maintenance on it.

Not looking for a high dollar unit, just something to run in its place.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I have a magnaflow 94019 cat. Works great, it passed CA smog and didnt break the bank. I bought it off this seller

Its 3" which slid nice over my stock 2.75 y pipe. Just make sure all the measurements are right for your application

Re: Need catalytic converter replacement

And our exhaust set up is the same. stock mani's and cat back 80 series flowmasters. It does get pritty loud. I used to have a gutted cat, when i put this one it sounded deeper at idle and got more low end torque

Re: Need catalytic converter replacement

Thanks for the link!

I read the E-bay ad, and at the bottom it says to e-mail them for the best price. And looking at Magnaflow's site, it shows a #93441 for a "direct fit."

Anyway, that is listed for $134 on E-bay. They already e-mailed me back for $119 shipped to the house.

I see an order being placed real soon!
