front cat replacement help please

All I want to do is relatively cheaply replace my rattley (noisy) front cat on my 00 E430 (v8) with a universal replacement cat that someone has already figured out will fit in this tight space.

Can someone who knows please tell me what part number and what brand of universal cat I can use? One that should not throw my CEL.

thanks in advance

cheers
