Default What is the preferred brand for catalytic converters?

I think mine is clogged, and my car is running rich.. I've been looking into CARSOUND cats, but I don't know if there are any downsides. Also, anyone know if it will make my apexi WS2 louder if i add one of these?

they dont ever custom make it for you they just weld it to some piping, unless you meant custom making the exhaust not the cat then depends on the dudes, dont go to some random **** beat up shop tho go to a repuatable tuning shop
