webman, here's a thread that I posted for people a while ago in the hope it helps you. I'm really happy with this catalytic converter so far. This converter is not intended only for forced induction it just is extra well equipped for forced induction with the heavy metal content. The same series comes in several different sizes to match the exhaust tubing you have and it is much much less $$$ than the OEM options out there. Hope this helps.

Howdy! I had my local muffler shop get rid of my double cat setup and barrel muffler. I like to hear my engine, at least a little bit. I now have a single generic hi flow cat tucked in up high and flat, and a Magnaflow muffler. It might be a little more sound than some would want on an 80, but I like it. I have driven it a lot since the install, and it has not popped a code yet. It definitely lets my super charger breath a little better also. Out the door for under $400. John

If you're looking for weld-on cats that you can weld on yourself or have welded on by a local shop just about any aftermarket truck cats should work. They're usually around $100-300 for each one depending on brand and where you buy them.

What year is your LC? Did the shop just weld in bungs for the o2 sensors before and after the cat?
Sounds like a good way to go as long as the OBD is happy

Howdy! My rig is a 97, with a dealer installed TRD supercharger. I just bought the rig a couple of weeks ago. The twin OEM cats had been banged around pretty hard, and I wanted something a little louder and more free flowing. I took it to a shop that has done a few of these before, so they knew what they were looking at. Yes, they just welded a single tube onto the front flange, put on a flat bottomed cat, and then went past the frame to mount a Magnaflow. Both Sensors are right where they were before, just one Cat between them now. They re-used the last 3-4 feet of tail pipe, as it was in very good condition, but the did get rid of the little resonator at the end. JohnInkpot

not bolt in like you want, but for anyone looking for aftermarket, i've run the magnaflows for years with no issues at all. for $60, you can't really beat them. could weld a flange on if you want to keep them bolt in.
Hi,
Where did you find for $60??? I checked magnaflow.com and more like $200 each. http://www.magnaflow.com/02catalytic_converters/02product/shopdisplayproducts.asp
Thx.
