What cat should I get?

Since I need to replace my cat on the JPP, any suggestions as to what I should get? I'm looking at the carsound ones and just not quite sure on what would work for me. I'm looking for just the traditional look, with a 2.5" in/out.

The Carsound ones are made by Magnaflow. I put one in when I replaced my front pipe and it seems to be a quality part. I haven't noticed any egg stink or anything. If you can be more specific in you question I can try to answer better.

This is what happened. People on SC3 told me its the cat gone bad possibly, and I agree, it kinda smells now and is real raspy when I push the gas, like a small pebbles are bouncing around in there.

So I was looking for a cat that would serve the same high flow purpose, and the same size and look of the JPP one.

The carsound site had a bunch of different part numbers.

Wutt up. What you could do is just unbolt the CAT and strip everything outta there. That should help the rattling noises. IDK much about the codes tho . . . BTW, who did the install on the headers? Hyper, ESH, Titan? I'm gonna install my mufflers soon, but need a good deal on a GOOD exhaust shop . . . maybe ESH. Shootz den.

My friend's friend's shop, Wayne's Auto, it took like 5 hours like Eric said, but he charged me pretty cheap.

That's pretty good time Ron. Even Toyota lists changing the rear manifold gasket as 5.8 hrs. Let us know what cat you get and how it goes. BTW also hope the O2 sensor problem is fixed.

Anyone heard of a cartech catalytic converter? I tried searching google but didn't find anything. The exhaust shop down here said it holds up better than carsound for turbo and blower applications, due to the excess heat from the forced induction. The only prob is its 169+ installation.
