2002 Explorer 4.0L which Catalytic Converter to buy???

[steve63933]

2002 Ford Explorer XTL 4.0l Auto 4 door 4wd.

It needs a new Catalytic Converter(s) I am just going to go ahead and try to replace them all and I am looking for the best prices I can get.

Been looking online at Catalytic Converters to buy and I have found some Universal fit for as low as $40.00 and others upwards of $200.00.

I have also found some with O2 sensor holes at the front part of the Cat. for about $60 or so shipped.

Will these work?

If you know what will work point me in the right direction. Price is a concern!!

Don't go with a universal cheepie, it may have a good price but the performance is not good enough to keep the obd2 computer happy. It's not a matter of will the engine run right, its purely a matter of emissions and the sensors can tell if it is not up to snuff.
