996 Cat Choices

I have a 2000 996 C2 Coupe with 73,000 miles, but only 21,000 miles on the new engine. I have been getting the check engine light come on a few times and each time it has been either bank one O2 sensor (replaced) or bank one cat. I presume I will need to repalce one or both cats soon.

Any recommendations on what to go with? OEM cats, sport cats - which brand? Any help is appreciated.

The new X-Pipe 200 Cell Cat's seem to be the best bet. I have FVD. Fabspeed also makes a set.

resonators arent even an option as far as i know on the x-pipes. to my knowledge its either 200cell cat, or cat-less. are there any manufacturers that produce an x-pipe with a 200cell cat AND a resonator?
