996 4S Catalytic Convert Replacement
Hi all. Started getting an engine light for the catalytic converter. My shop tried replacing one of the O2 sensors to see if it would go away but no luck. So it looks like I'm going to have to replace the converters which they're saying is going to be a couple grand.
I'm thinking of giving it a go myself if it's a bolt on solution.
Has anybody gone through the process of deciding between discountconverter.com and magnaflow.com? It seems like they're the best non OEM options. Would appreciate any thoughts on selection and/or replacing them myself.

Hey my thread came back from the dead!
My x-pipe is still going strong and makes a wonderful sound at high RPMs. Let me know if you have any questions on it. Here is a video I took when I first installed it to capture the sound:

I bought these... to add to the Agency Power headers and sport mufflers that came with my car.

Package was shipped from UK and they arrived in like 2 or 3 days. Under $900. No CELs and fantastic sound. Torque seems better than before... They have less restrictive 100 cell Cats as well, but no regrets on may part buying these. Very happy.
Good luck
