Catalytic converter replace part?

Hey all, I'm working through this project I have going on with my '01 F250.
I've come to the exhaust. I have headers and a cat-back on the way, but I'm wondering if there is a cost effective replacement to the cat on the truck now.
How much is the factory cat worth on these things?

* I have the doug thorley headers and Flowmaster force II cat back. My state doesn't require emissions so a cat isn't necessary. However, I like it on the quieter side, stock or just over

If it's not plugged and is working, leave it. JMO.

I tend to agree with 85e150, unless it has a million miles on it and/or you just want to get it swapped while you're there already.

There are after market ones out there much less than the oems. Oems are gold plated or so they think and the prices reflect it. I put one on my ranger some years ago andf it currently has 150000+ plus on it and no issues. Check with an independent muffler shop in your area for availability.

I parted out a 2001 V10 and I got 350 for a used cat. A new one runs $600 and up
