A catalytic convertor is downstream of your exhaust header. Unless you have access to a car lift and a welder, you need to find a specialist.

A competent muffler shop will cut it out, and weld in a replacement unit. Expect to pay approximately 400 to 500 USD. Don't let the dealer do this. They will charge at least double.

Secondary cats won't work as primary cats.

Here's a picture of the catalytic converters. They are the big bulging things on the exhaust.

The wires going into them are the rear O2 sensors. You will have a similar set of wires in front of the cats as well.

The picture is from a V6 Kompressor, if you have a 4 banger, the cat looks similar, but chances are you'll only have one primary kitty.
