Ok all the problems I have been having is I have a bad cat to come find out so I would like to know which cat would fit perfectly with my stock exaust?I found one @ http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_p...ts1.php?id=364

Oh I forgot to mantion that the shop said to me that I need to get a exact fit otherwise they wont do it and they want to sell me one or there cats for like $479.00,the guy did say that if I could find one that is a direct fit with the stock exaust he would only charge me $125 to replace it so saving like $400 would be awesome!

The ZZP picture is not a direct fit..that'* a universal. The second link says direct fit. So it should be what your guy wants.
As far as best flow..I'd check www.justmagnaflow.com for a direct fit.

on a side note, if anyone wants to buy one, its cheaper on ebay, search the part #, i found it listed for a LeSabre and got it for 137 Shipped

I tried to contact Magnaflow about a direct fit but I never got a response. May I suggest http://hoganperformance.com? I bought a direct fit high flow and it fit no problem at all.
