It seems rather steep for some exhaust work....anyhow, are you 101% sure that the cat converter's falling apart? The heat shield's known to rust and fall aprt causing the same rattle you mentioned (did it on mine until it fell off), but the cat's still doing it's job. As for the front pipe, I too have a few holes which I patched up using the exahust repair putty and Campbell's soup can. It's a temporary fix till I replace it during the summer. I will attempt to replace it without a flame torch, although al lot of people highly recommend it! I do have a dremel tool, which could come handy. The front pipe's $75-80 or so.

Cheers,
SM
