Just buy an aftermarket cat and have it put in. Cheaper than going the "OE" way that you would with a shop.

Have your O2's checked on the 96-97's they had weak O2's and No they don't throw codes because they are stuck at a certain voltage.

Just repl the one before the cat and you should be OK.

Call these guy's for pricing I got a flyer in the mail from them at my shop.

Miller Cat's
1-800-826-6615
In Hayward 3295 Depot Rd.

The ad says OBDII California new aftermarket Cat's
It also says $375 repair shop price.

Worth a try.
