Why do you wait on vendors? You could easily do that yourself. Order some high-flow metal cats and replace the OEM ones with these.

I'll go down this route next spring - with high-quality race endurance metal cats from HJS (100 cells; they also sell 200 cells which are less expensive). They're quite expensive, though (1350 EUR for the two I'll need) but worth it. It will also improve the exhaust sound considerably.
