My 2000 SE v6 has about 200k , and I am on my third aftermarket catalytic converter/downpipe . The original one that came with the car was massive ,fetched $200 @ the salvage , but the flex pipe was damaged , so I ordered a $300 replacement . Even though they come with a "warranty" , the cheap ones don't work . They are about the size of a beer can ! Money can't buy a quality replacement ....unless somebody out there knows otherwise..
Check your VIN , most cars were covered under recall . Probably way too late , but worth a try .
A new cat/downpipe @ the dealer {remember those days?} was about $1800 ,a couple of years ago .
The good news is your car has a fully functional self diagnostic onboard , letting you know that your catalytic ain't workin .My "check engine light is usually on , with code 420 .
Good Luck !
