Is this a crappy CAt converter?

[Kronic Budz]

Ok well a while ago my old cataltytic converter started sounding like there were rocks in it and was really loud and ****ty sounding. So i went and got a new one thats a universal one that all u need to do it screw it in. I think the name was Maremont and it was around $130 from Kragen. Is this a half way decent cat that i shouldnt worry about? Or are these cat converters important enough to buy quality over kragen stuff? It did give my exhaust a nice lower growl though.

I would hollow your current one out
or buy a high flow cat

how hard is it to hollo the cat out? And what are the benefits of doing so? Because i dont really wanna spend the extra money..

I haven't heard about them, but i will assume that since it changed the exhaust sound to a deeper growl, it probably flows better than the stock one, so it should be fine. Worst case, it either restricts flow, or doesn't work as well, but cats aren't important unless you have emissions anyway, so brands shouldn't matter much.

Just pull the cat off the car and look threw it... smash out all the honeycomb stuff and push it out the other end. then stick it back on. LOL

Unless you have to pass Driveclean or something like that where you live.
