Catalytic Converter needed
Have a 95 LS400 that I think has a bad catalytic converter, front passenger side. Also have another 95 I wrecked that I kept for parts. Problem is on the wrecked car the bolts are really corroded and I might not be able to remove them. If I go aftermarket for the CC, which is the best one for the money? Thanks for any help.

Have Kroil but used some other stuff first because I couldn't find the Kroil, have now found it, haven't tried heat yet. Can cut 4 of 5 bolts off, the 5th looks like It is impossible to get to to cut off. Which brand from Rock Auto?

As long as the tools stay on it, just use a very long 1/2 drive ratchet or breaker bar and break the bolt. I'd use a cutting torch if it can be reached, just don't let the flame hit on the floor.

Thanks men, I used a flow tester to check the CC's and they check out OK. Now think the problem is electrical. Changed out one of the coil packs and it worked great for a day and then started misfiring again. Am getting misfires from both coil pack banks, 3 on one side and 1 on the other. Changed the coil pack on the side with 3 cylinders misfiring. Might be the ECU. Plugs and wires changed 20K ago.
