My cat has a leak, what should I replace it with?

Okay, here are some of the catalytic converters that I found online. My local shop qouted me $650 for a new one, and I dont even know what brand.

Bosal $406.67
Catco $247.63
Turner Motorsport $459.00


Anyone have any experience with these makes? Anyone have any recommendations for other brands? Are there any high flow cats available that are dual in/dual out setups? Thanks.

Catco Universal cats can be had for less than $75. I hear they flow well but i dont know how well they pass emmissions, do you have to do emissions in MD?

we have emissions, and they are fairly strict

The Random Technology cat I got for my Camaro years ago was great, you might want to check them for prices. They don't appear to have any dual in/out, but you could go the route that my car uses. Just a y-pipe to the cat and then another one out. If you use a big enough cat you won't get any more restriction. Any decent muffler shop should be able to do that for you no problem.
