Default header and cat-converter

I'm going to be getting a megan raceing header soon, and I'm thinking of getting a high flow cat to go with it. I think that theres a hole in the converter(my car makes noises which leads me to think so and bad gas mileage). I'm planning on getting a magnaflow one to go with my cat back exhaust. I found one at autopartswarehouse.com for $63, theres also one slightly more expensive on the page. Good idea? Or should I just replace it with a honda one.

Read the "Truth about Catalytic Converters" sticky to read about the gains/differences in them, but if your upgrading the whole exhaust system, might as do the cat as well. $63 is a pretty good price for a legit Magnaflow flow i think

ya, I haveread that thread. Thats why I'm wondering if I should just replace it with a honda one. I noticed that the description for that $63 dollar one is a 'universal fit, some welding and cutting may apply'......so I dunno.
