There are at least two catalytic converters and maybe more! I checked the Autozone website and they show a whole page of them. Some are for the front of the exhaust, some are for the back and some are for the manifold! Very confusing.

Here's a link to the Autozone page. You will have to type in "catalytic converter" in the search box to find the correct page. Hope it helps you out:
