Need a new catalytic converter

I replaced 2 bad oxygen sensors a few weeks ago, now my catalytic converter has gone bad. I've owned alot of nissans, but I've never had to replace a catalytic converter before. It looks easy but does anyone know of a good aftermarket one that I should get for my 01 maxima and where I can order from? Thanks!

Why do you think it went bad?

I would go to summitracing.com they have one on there that is 50 state legal for about $105 also with reguards to Cali or fed here was a thread in her that showed how to tell on a vq35. if there is four connections above the exhust manifold then it is CALI but if it only has two then it is fed. wish i had a linkf or you bud but i cant find it.

I think you are still under warranty if you are under 80K Miles. Look into this and ask your dealer...

My guess is that you have a P0420/P0430 code and your dealer just replaced the O2s without reprogramming the ECU per this TSB:
