I priced a few at AutoZone and there is a wide range of prices for them.

Go with a Magnaflow high flow cat. Shop around though, Auto Zone isn't always the cheapest.

Get one offline. you can get just the cat and have a shop weld it in.

I ordered a direct-fit Magnaflow unit for my '98 from Amazon for about 120 bucks. Not a bad deal, IMO.

Friends don't let friends Autozone. They are by far the worst auto parts chain on the planet.

Everything about them screams cheap and unreliable....and dumb.

they use to/still do free code scanning. that's a plus.

I've seen it done there but I'm not sure if they still do it or not.

We're getting off topic. How about we suggest a few sources for the part he needs?

Find the part you want, then check Amazon for that part number. I've ordered a number of parts from Amazon for cheaper prices than most places.

Amazon has what I think is the Hi-Flow catalytic converter direct fit for $114.88 plus shipping.

Magnaflow OEM 46204
Magnaflow Hiflow(?) 24204

Amazon

Amazon quite often beats everyone else's price. even eBay - BC

$114? Holy cow. I've never paid over $65 for a Magnaflow High-Flow Cat. FYI, Carsound IS Magnaflow if that helps.

65 for Just the cat? Or with flange and pipe?

Magnaflow 94006 is what you want, it's a 2.5" In and out HF cat. You'll need to have an exhaust shop weld it in though.
