You guys have been great over the years!

I have a 2000 atx v6 and the precats have been shot for a year- car was running OK but now it is stumbling at partial throttle. Any advice as to what I should do?
1) Have a mechanic clean out the precats?
2) Cut the dang things off and replace with a pipe?
3) Get a used header?

Thanks guys! If anyone has a pair of used exhaust manifolds or headers in decent shape I'm willing to buy'em!

Thanks for all of your help!

Cheers,
Albert
