Or you can just cut out the old cats and install new ones along with new 02 sensors.
It would be worth your while to determine why both cats failed so it doesn't happen again.
Why or how do you know they are bad, what fault code numbers do you have?

I purchased a complete Y pipe assy from www.discountcatalyticconverters.com and went with the Davico system. Looks like they are around $360 right now. Mine had already been replaced by the prior owner, and I figured that they were around $100 each for both the cats, plus labor to weld them in. It wouldn't save much going that route, and this way I get a new assy ready to bolt in. Mine fit perfect, and so far has worked well.

A word of caution when you remove the pipes from the manifold is to use an impact. I broke 4 of the 6 studs, and had to put in two heli coils because I could not get the reamainder of the studs out.

Search for my thread on here about the Davco unit and where to purchase.

FYI zthe davco unit uses much smaller cats. Your exhaust will sound more hollow than you're used too.

Like I said search for my thread for my full review.
