I read in an other post that someone had a low and rough idel and then changed the catalytic converter and it went away so I have the some problem and I have tried everything else but every place I go they want to charge $200 or above and it is a universal cat. Is it this much or is someone tring to take me for a ride?

$200 is about right, I wouldnt be replacing it unless I had a code for it. Have your done everything else to try to fix your rough idle.
Injectors that are dirty an cause it, IAC valve yeah that can to, vacuum leak also would, probaly a lot more to.

But.. the main catalytic converter doesn't give a code.
$200 is a little high (but not out of the park), pick yourself up one from CTA motorsports for like $60 and just get it welded on.. shouldn't be too much.

CTA Motorsports has universal cats for $79 up to 2.5" ID, I would go with one of those and eliminate the stock one (which is why you posted this of course), that way you can eventually get an exhaust header without too many issues...
