I believe you only have one.... however, did they clear the codes after installing it? Are you certain it was the cat causing the problems and not the sensor itself? do you by chance have/know what code it was giving you?

PO420 could be the catalytic converter is defective and also caused by your enginemisfiring, not running good or a Large Vacume leak in the system and also Possibally engine oil leakage into the exhaust valve guide seats and passed the piston rings..someone else in the know ..concure with this..?
