Ordering new catalytic converters
Has anyone ordered cats from here
http://www.ecatalyticconverter.com/l...converter.html
...or can recommend a good place to order some. This place charges $150 each with no shipping costs. Any input would be appreciated for my cousin.

those are universal - "fits any car" type of converter so you will have to spend some more money in the muffler shop fitting those on, you will have to use your original flanges and if i remember correctly there isnt much to be played with, unless you have a good muffler shop to go to, i would try to find a "direct fit" type of converter first

i'm not saying they dont work, they DO 
just that when you cut the flange off the old one there is almost no pipe left to atach the new one to
that's why i was saying make sure your muffler guy knows what he is doing

I'd just get the 2.5" oval, an x pipe or an h pipe, then straight pipes with a nice tip.. That would probably sound badass with the v8
