So the Catalytic converter plugged up on my 94 k1500 and when I went to pull the O2 sensor on the side of the road it took part the pipe with it. 500 miles from home on a Sunday I cut the Cat out and slid some pipe in to channel most the noise to the muffler. The next day got an estimate to do redo it from the y-pipe back as I knew there was hole near the muffler at $650 and decided to fix it myself. Went with the Magnaflow 23256 and Really happy I did, included the donut seals so $20 right there. It's a 2 piece design with the drivers side pipe being separate so install was easy and the manifold flanges look at least as thick as OE if not thicker. All mandrel bent and the converter is 2 in 1 out and it looks to flow better than stock. Which they say is a bottleneck.
Unsurprising one stud broke, even though they were only 3 years old from doing head gaskets.
I figured I'd post up in case someone else wants a first hand review. Ordered a Dynomax catback a few minutes ago to finish the exhaust with coupon codes and free shipping I'll be about $500, including about $125 in the rest of it, Heated O2 sensor, manifold gaskets, stud kits, manifold bolts, and manifold spreader.
I even took a few pics
