Catalytic convertor problems 850 1996

Hi everybody,

I need to change the catalytic converter for my 1996 850 GLT SW....
My mechanic recommended me to go with the Volvo catalytic converter..he said that the aftermarket ones don't fit properly...
Well I checked some prices on the Internet and they are much more decent(around $330 US dollars) than the price from the Volvo part (my mechanic gave me the price $877.49 CDN )...
Well , the exahaust manifold is broken too....so between exhaust manifold, catalytic converter and labour the price is $2114 CDN !!!

Anybody who used aftermarket catalytic converters?
How about exhaust manifold?

I've found some at:
