Default Catalytic converters

what's up all? So I have a problem with my disco lol catalytic converter 1. It's failing fast and the other is gonna go soon. In wondering what the best course of action is? Should I just do a manga flow y pipe and replace all the O2 sensors or do the y pipe with full exhaust kit with it? What is roughly the coat of each.

How do you know the cats a failing fast? Nasty smell, codes, rot?

I have a full MagnaFlow exhaust on my 02.. it's nice.. good sound, doesn't do much besides sound good.

Is it worth going all the way with it? Meaning do the y pipe with cats ( bc I'm in an emission state) and exhaust? Or should I only do the y pipe

The MagnaFlow catalytic kit is the Y pipe, cats and all. Only difference is, it is 2 peices insteat of 1. For me it was worth it as my original exhaust was in pretty bad shape. All the flanges had rotted. So I figured screw it and started fresh.

Was it fairly easy to install. My buddy and I are gonna take on the project. Hopefully all goes well.

Only problem that needs to be ready for, the nuts on the studs that connect y-pipe to manifold strip easy. I recommend spraying with penetrating oil the day before. Also we loosened manifold a little when installing, made it easier to line up.

Broke every one of mine regardless of how much pent rating oil or heat I used.

Couple places sell the cat y-pipe. Atlantic British for sure, but if you search google a couple place pop up. I ended up using existing y pipe and only replacing the cays. Saved 200 bucks. But auto zone can get you the cat back kit. Make sure you get new O2 sensors as well. I got those at auto zone. It came to 279 for all 4 sensors (Bosch) I ended up going with flowmaster instead. i think they are little better than the magnaflows. Roughly the same cost.
