Default Replacing the Cat(s)?

First question is, how many cats does my car have? (03 Dak R/T 5.9)

Second question is, assuming I have to replace them, what are my options? Aftermarket and hi-flow cats are not a problem.

The truck is otherwise 100% stock right now.

there should be a 100k mile warranty on catalytic converters. call the dodge dealer and ask, if they're bad, you should get them replaced for free.

This goes along with the engine thread I have, where it overheated pretty bad, and its likely the cat(s) or O2 sensors will need to be replaced because of it.
