2004 F53 6.8L V-10 Catalytic Converter Replacement

I own a 2004 Forest River Georgetown Class A motorhome on a Ford F53 chassis with 6.8L V-10 engine. Last week, while it was at the dealership for service, someone cut off the OEM catalytic converter (P/N 4C3Z5E212FA), and now I need a replacement. However, Ford doesn't make it anymore. I need help to find an alternate part that maintains the same flow characteristics of the original. I installed a Bank Power Pack on it a few years ago and need to maintain the same flow capability. Can anyone give me a lead on who makes replacements for the F53? All my Google searches have done nothing more than verify that the original pat is discontinued. Really need some help here. Thanks.
Class A

    Thanks William. Please don't get me wrong, the great thing about this forum is that people do take the time to reply. I appreciate that you replied. Hopefully I'll be able to return the favor sometime.

    Sorry, don't know anything about the site or a fair price for the part.

    I replied because they said that they have the part in stock and you said that ALL your Google searches indicated that the part was discontinued. I assumed you hadn't seen this one.

    Good luck finding what you need ... at a fair price.

    Yes I did. The $1650 price seems out of line and I didn't trust the site. Do you know anything about this site?
