Default catalytic converters

Hey all,
I picked up a '00 2.8, and recently found out the entire exaust is shot. I wasn't too worried until i found out the cost of the cats is something like $2,000 for both. I've heard they're under an 8 year warrenty, but I don't have any info on it, and was hoping someone had a link or more specifics. I know most of you have 1.8ts, but I was also hoping for some advice on new exaust systems - I'm looking at Milltek, but are there any other decent options?

Thanks

Default what's wrong with the cats?

How did the entire exhaust system crap out in such short time?
