Default '96 LT1 cat replacement

Looking to replace the catalytic converters on my '96 LT1. The aftermarket cats seem cheap and have mixed reviews. Any ideas/recommendations on good cats that will last and dealers?

Unless you have a failed/clogged cat there really isn't a real need to do this. The stock cats flow more than well enough for a stock LT1. The gain vs. money spent will be negligible. Unless of course you are going to long tube headers or have a significantly modded motor.
