My catalytic converter is clogged up I wanna try cleaning it out but if that doesn't help what's a cat that will bolt right up I can't find anything that's legal for California other than a magnaflow 36622 not sure if I need to do some fabbing to install it.

Pretty much the only bolt on option will be from a dealer, which means big dollars. Best bet would be to get some quotes from local shops.

Wow, I'm surprised anyone still makes a direct fit for these cars. Be prepared for some pain getting the old bolts out. Those things are always rusted to hell after so many years. And don't even bother with a wrench, just cut them off.
