I'm looking for opinions on where to get my catalytic converter. I'm buying a direct fit replacement and I've found these different prices.

Autozone: $233.99
Advance Auto: $215.99
Napa: $226.91
Ebay $207
Rock Auto $141.79

The ones from autozone, advance, and napa, are all the cheapest they have. The one on Ebay is a Magnaflow and comes with manufacturer warranty. Rock Auto is remarkably cheaper, but what about the quality?? I guess what I'm asking is, how does the quality of Rock Auto's cat match up to magnaflow? Any opinion's are appreciated. Thanks

Go with Rock Auto. I've bought from them for years. Pick out a name brand if you are concerned about quality. There prices are cheap and no difference in quality.

I used them for my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac parts. Got the parts and installed a whole new front end for $800. Upper and lower ball joints with control arms +inner and outer tie rods. Raybestos parts professional grade.

I went to another mechanic specializing in front ends, he wanted to charge me $1200, he would have gotten the parts. In addition to paying an additional $400 I highly doubt the parts he had were Raybestos.
