Default Need Suggestions for Catalytic Converters

Greetings from planet Earth:

So my check engine light has been coming and going; after I scanned it, it was saying something about catalytic threshold being low or something. I did some research and found that it was either a bad O2 sensor or it needed a new catalytic converter...

Anyway, I looked under the car finally and realized that I don't even have catalytic converters. I know, okay, I know. So, my car obviously isn't going to pass emissions with the Y-pipe that it currently has.

I need to buy a pair of catalytic converters and need suggestions on what to get. Like which ones would be best for performance. I'd also like to know which ones you guys personally like or have had good experiences with and which ones to avoid.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You do know your catalytic converters are not on the Y pipe but on the drop coming down from your motor. One on each side.

Sorry, I meant test pipes; not Y-pipe.

Oh, nice. Yeah, I'd be interested. I assume they're used? Can you post some pictures or give me a link to see them?
