Cheap stock cat...just to pass emissions?

I know my cat is pretty much not legal anymore. I barely passed last year by 1 point. Anyone know of a cheap cat to buy that will just get me to pass emissions? Entire exhaust is stock with all emissions crap still on motor. S4 N/A. After passing I am gonna throw on an apexi N1 until i gotta pass next year. Thanks!

I use a magnaflow hig flow cat, they are cheap, but you will have to get the flanges (from racingbeat or mazdatrix) and weld them to the cat.
