Thank you Jim your advice has helped us a lot,i have a shop that is going to put it in for $100 plus parts,the catalyc is 60 at a parts store here in Toronto,Canada but i am not sure if i need the resonator pipe he is a rad/muffler shop,i will ask him
A universal fit will likely require welding. A model specific converter may just bolt in but you will have to take a look to see if your converter bolts in.
