Default Cat Is broken What do I replace it with?

Did some looking around to replace the entire catalytic converter lowest price is $700 pretty steep. What should I do? delete the cat? It has a H pipe and magnaflow tips. Starting the car is like throwing a tin can full of rocks down a hill when it warms us there is a constant clicking at cretin rpm. (1000-1500) I would like to keep the sound deep and nice I wouldn't like hi pitch scream. thanks for the help.

Definitely no need to spend 700$. You can by a whole new x-pipe with hi-flo cats on AM for like 400$ - just know that these cats don't usually last too long... Or you can just delete them and get MIL eliminators depending on how strict your state is on emissions

Way too much. If you don't have emissions testing to get license plates I'd just put a straight pipe on it.

Will not having to 02 censors mess with the air fuel mixture?
