buying catalytic converter on Ebay
 
I posted this in the exhaust section, but thought I might have better luck here. I need to replace my catalytic converters and there's a company who sells on Ebay called Exhaust Distribution. The will sell OE cats for $174.00 a side plus shipping. Here's a link to one of their items:

Sounds like a good price, but want to know if this is quality stuff. thanks!

let me know if and when you get this done, mine are whistling and in need of replacement.

Just a note: make sure to bring your old cat after replacement to your junk yard (call several in your area).
I replaced my 2 main cats (with straight pipes) on my 2.7T. Was quoted $28/ea from one, but fetched $70/ea from the next yard!
Effectively paid for the 2 new flex pipes and material/bending/welding of the straight pipes.
On the other hand, I only fetched $10 for the nearly 2 pounds of material from the gutted pre cats.
