Default High Flow Cats

One of my catalytic converters is broken, and has thrown a CEL light, its been like this for a few months now, and instead of buying an OEM catalytic converter I think I want to buy two highflow cats, are there any good ones that are specially made for the gs400 so I can just bolt them right on? instead of having to do a bunch of cutting and welding.

If you know of any let me know. thanks

Magnaflow offers products for the GS400 as well (http://www.magnaflow.com/02catalytic...S400&year=2000)

You might try searching a little. There are a lot of products out there.

Where did you get yours from? I'm looking to ditch my cats on a 2004 GS430 and having some trouble finding something that will work for certain.

I'm actually very interested in what is shared between the GS3 and the GS4 but I dont think cats would be interchangeable seeing how the GS3 is a 6 cylinder and the GS4 is a V8
