Where to buy a cat. converter

Found out my cat converter is causing a flow restriction giving me a lost of power. Where has anyone recently bought one for a heck of a good deal? How has it held up for you? I've seen them anywhere for $200 to $600 .(catco,eastern, magnaflow)
Lookin to pay less for the best brand as usual.
Thanks

A lot of guys with pre '95 4runners and trucks have a Magnaflow. You can buy them on ebay for around $100...
IIRC, theres a couple (3.4) '96+ members here that had no issues after installing one.

You should measure your inlet and oulet too, just to be sure.

i just got a check engine light, checked the code and it's either the cat or o2 sensors. i haven't got around to check yet which one it is but i looked on ebay for the universal ones and they are around $60-$70 with free shipping. as stated above you'll have to see what the pipe diameter is so you buy the correct one.
i have not had a chance to check but if somebody does know what the stock pipe diameter is before and after the cat could you please post for us? otherwise i will when i find out.
