Need a new cat for my Cerb. There is a wide range from 85£ until 400£ on ebay.
What is the quality difference on these parts and what can be recommended ?
Shoud I change the cats (and lambdas) by the pair or is a single one ok too ?

Personally the high-flow cats would be on my list. I would replace the pair, and bits around it. But that is just me, and I'm not ace at this!

The cheapy ones are ok if you are just going to put them in for an MOT and then remove. I wouldn't run more than a few miles with them though.

any ideas where I get them ? (or is any above 180£ ok, should have one with certificate)
are the original ones high-flow cats ?

Don't use the cheap ones - how much is your engine worth ??? You don't want bits of cat being sucked back into cylinders...
