2002 Buick Century 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My car did not pass emissions test. I was told by my mechanic that I needed a catalytic converter. I want to buy the part myself. Looking on the internet I located several types and price ranges for this part. what should this part look like and how much should it cost with and without labor?
