Catalytic converters

My 1987 Mercury Cougar LS 3.8L V6 TBI has been giving me some trouble lately and I just found out that I needed to replace the catalytic converters on my car. From my understanding, my car has 2 catalytic converters on it. Since i live in California I know I have to get ones that are legal for california. I was wondering if anybody could give me a link as to where I could get the catalytic converters for my car? I was looking online today and some of them were labeled REAR catalytic converter and some were not, so I just want to make sure I get the correct ones.

I think I found one for my rear that fits: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300646430644?item=300646430644&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:BOC:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr

The front catalytic converter closest to my throttle body has an angle shape to it and im having one hell of a hard time trying to find an angled catalytic converter for the front.

That one is a universal so it will require additional piping and welding. Not a big deal if you have the means, but direct fit is easier if you dont want to deal with fabbing exhaust parts.
