Cats and servicing in west LA

Morning all,

New to the board and have just just picked up a very clean 06 manual Vantage and Alfa 4C as daily drivers in LA. Would like to get a pair of 200 cell cats on the Aston ASAP and looking for recommendations for cats and good independent servicing around West LA (or reasonable close). Buying a set of lightly used cats is also an option if someone has them available. Just need to replace then quickly as the car feels like it is smothered and pretty sure they are breaking down from the tell tale rattle.

How much do places charge for cat installs?

I think my local exhaust shop will do it for $150. He did my exhaust for 150.

but lmk the quotes you get on the other places. I will need my cats done soon as well.

Thanks boys! Dropped the car off with Tom at Lucent. Quickly decided to get a quicksilver with 200 cell cats installed. Looking forward to the results!
