Gulp!
CATs are crazy expensive for quality genuine parts.
I've had a cheapo pattern CAT fail the MOT emissions test on a Toyota at a year old - and of course the company that supplied it had vanished so no choice but to chance another - or pay 3x as much for the genuine article!!
If you can get away without replacing the catalytic converters then it keeps the price down.
Personally i'd go with the Volvo parts - just because it'll fit perfectly and not change the noise or performance characteristics of the car... but maybe i'm just boring like that!
