A replacement cat converter is very expensive and it is unlikely the cat needs replaced. Is the engine warning symbol lighting up? If it is the chances are that the sensor on the cat is either dirty or faulty. The best way to determine if your cat is faulty is to have the exhaust emissions checked this will show if the cat is working properly or not. A replacement cat can be fitted by any exhaust center, but expect to pay big bucks if you have to replace.
IF YOU HAVE SINGLE EXAUST YOU HAVE ONE ON EACH SIDE OF MOTOR THAT IS 2 AND THEN YOU EITHER HAVE ONE OR 2 BEHIND THE CAT CONVERTOR

Best way is to replace the pipe from the header back past the cat, it sold this way from most parts houses and is the fastest and easiest way to replace the cat, you can also buy the cat separate, then cut out the old one and weld in the new, but that is more work than is necessary.
