Default Replacing Catalytic Convertor

2004 with 161,000 miles. I need to replace the convertor. Auto Zone has one for just over $100. Does anyone have an opinion? Thanks

OK, You say OEM. Is that because of sound? performance?

Thanks for all the help. Note - I posted looking for an OEM CC. Are the years interchangeable?

Yes. The o2 sensor location is in a different spot ap1 vs ap2, it all fits. Sensor wire will reach. No cel, no problem.

The OEM heat shields are the same part number for my 2006 AP2 and my buddy's 2002 AP1 so the O2 sensor can't have moved more than 1/4" or it wouldn't get thru the hole in the shield. Don't know about the very early cars.
