Default S8 Cats. which ones, from where?

Well, i have a terrible noise coming from under my car, i thought my gearbox had given up! but having given the cat a bit of a nudge my rattle stopped, so i assume its the insides breaking up.

Its the first time ive runn super unleaded in it, not sure if this cleans things through as well as they claim? but it might be the cause of my issues i guess if all the loose stuff in there has just come out.

Where is the best place to get cats? Standard or high flow, stainless or mild steel, im not fussed until i see prices.
