Default cracked cat

i went to meineke to check out my exhaust leak and get a cut-out put on...they found that the left bank cat has a hairline crack about 2 inches long at the top, near the flange. but here is the dillema, buy an OEM cat from GM for 400 dollars, or 2 high flow cats from slp for 350? im not sure but i need the whole cat with the pipe and the flanges, not sure what to do because i dont want to spend alot of money. they said they would replace both cats for 150 bucks labor....what should i do?

It should be under warranty. Did you talk to a dealership service department?
