Cost of a new catalytic converter

There are different flavors of catalytic converters. There’s the OEM type, aftermarket direct fit type, and the universal type. With the OEM/aftermarket direct fit types these are just bolted into place, and are more expensive. The universal types require cutting out the old catalytic converter and either clamping or welding in the new converter. So depending on which type is installed will dictate the price.
