I still visit here fairly frequently to check in 
The person who bought ‘my’ S8 is a member here, but doesn’t post much. The last I heard (which I think was on Facebook) either he or his Mrs had clattered the cats on a speed bump, unfortunately. I believe was looking for replacements, but at that point I don’t know if he’d had a look to see if they could be repaired
The nice thing about the replacements was that they were metal rather than ceramic, so there was a chance they could be repaired
Given OEM replacements are NLA (they claimed to be when I looked into this) I’d defo go refurb route over anything aftermarket that’s not going to necessarily fit that well. The quality of aftermarket cats is generally dreadful in the uk (I used to work in vehicle emissions legislation, so speaking from experience!)
