The torque converter is between the engine and transmission, meaning, that if you want to replace the torque converter, you will need to either remove the engine or transmission or both.
There is typically a standard shop fee for removing and replacing the engine, typically a few hundred dollars.
Most transmission shops will tell you that it's not a good idea to just replace the torque converter; they don't typically represent the only point of failure in an automatic transmission, and if there has been wear on the torque converter shaft, it's typically because the bearing has worn and there has been inadequate transmission maintenance.
A worn torque converter typically corresponds to a worn hydraulic pump which will result in low pressure, and weak shifting control. If the hydraulic pressure is low, clutches will not be held in place firmly, allowing a little slipping of the clutches and excessive wear.
The bottom line is, you probably won't get out replacing just a torque converter. But if you do, a replacement torque converter will be another couple hundred dollars beyond R&R the engine/transmission.

The life of your catalytic converter depends on the condition of the engine and the fuel you're using. If the fuel has the wrong additives, the catalytic converter can become plugged up. If the engine burns oil the oil vapor will build up on the catalytic converter and it can become plugged. Otherwise, if the catalytic converter isn't plugged, don't replace it.

The catalytic converter is located about mid-car inline with the exhaust piping. Identifiable by it's heat shield. Jack up and secure the car on jackstands. Under the car you will see the exhaust piping goes into an elongated diamond shaped contraption. This has flanges on both ends that can be unbolted (the bolts often times are spring loaded) and the new catalytic converter be installed. Remember to replace the gaskets.
