PO420 and PO430 - Want to replace catalytic converter Bank A and B. Where to order?

What site should I order the catalytic convert? I need both banks. There are a lot of after market companies which promise a good fit and function but which should I order from? Anybody have any experience with this?

there plenty of thread on here regarding the issue of catalytic converters with our cars and how guys resolve the issue(aftermarket cats, gutted cats, whole new exhaust with no cats). Just search for them as there are several to choose from.

Did you get this resolved? My '01 AE started throwing P0430 without an SES (yet) after I replaced the IACV to clear P0505. I'm hoping I just have a vacuum leak as the cats were replaced 2 years ago.
