Default Hiflow cats- what brand guys

Looks like one of my cats is suss. Just got to get under it with the heat gun and confirm this is so but if this is the case what is the brand to buy for replacement on the windsor 220 and 250's.
I hear the metal core are more resilient than the ceramic core but there must be some better than others.
Would appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

When at Autotech recently to have the TE retuned I asked their exhaust shop guy about headers and metal cats. For outright power he recommended Pacy 4 > 1 headers. But for cats he said Liverpool Exhaust are making their own metal cats now and reckoned even if you have metal cats the LE ones would outflow them. Price $400 each + fitting

I've got a pair of Metalcats. 3" inlet down to 2 1/2" outlet and I'm happy with them.

One of the guys at LE showed me the difference between a hi flow cat and their metal cat and looking through both of them the difference was stark indeed.
