well I know they have alot of catalytic converters, but I didn't know they had much in the way for Kias, I might check out the mounting and check out my locak auto shops and get a general idea of what I am looking for before I decide to buy anything, I dunno if I will be able to hook it up myself. I'll have to check that out too.

most catalytic converters are universal (in our case or any cars case with 97+) just make sure it is obd2 compliant........
For mounting any muffler shop knows what to do.... Its as easy as just welding in new hangers.. If they dont know this go to someone that does....
