First, that is completely insane advice by the mechanic.
Second, that is correct. Aftermarket cats have far less platinum group metals inside of them.

I should qualify: mechanic suggested a temporary straight thru pipe rather than a $750 toyota conveter, while I look for a cheaper alternative, rather than having the 2nd cat stolen again. I'm actually grateful to this mechanic

Ohh it sounded like he was suggesting that as a permanent fix!
Yeah get an aftermarket cat. Not a racing cat, just an aftermarket replacement.
