[@tatewinters5565]

Beautiful.

[@menwithapthy]

Where’d you get the catalytic converter from? Also, what are the inlet and outlet dimensions?

[@jeepstuff9189]

Hey, I ordered mine off of Amazon, there and eBay both have quite a few cheaper options for Cherokee cats, and for the dimensions I don’t remember off the top of my head but I think it was 2” outlet and 2 1/4” inlet.

Does it work with emisions? I live in california and trying to find one for my cherokee

[@jeepstuff9189]

I don’t believe the one I used will do cali emissions standards, I’m in Oregon so it’s a little less strict. But I got mine on Amazon, there are the plenty of options there for pretty cheep, you will just need to read the item specifications in the description to see its emissions info. Good luck :)

Well you are the 3rd video I have watched today about how to install a catalytic converter, your is the simplest version, I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee , similar. Great video. So what is the name of the muffler tape?

[@jeepstuff9189]

There are a few different brands that work you should be able to find in the exhaust isle in any auto parts store, I believe I used the “tiger patch brand”

Did u have a front cat on ur jeep? Its on the front exhaust pipe kinda looks like a bulb?

[@jeepstuff9189]

Not on mine,I believe in the later years they did the two cats closer up to the engine but my xj just has the style with one down by the muffler

[@ky0611]

@jeepstuff9189 yea mine is 99. I know what ur talking about on the 00-01, but I have this bulb on the front exhaust pipe. I wasn't sure if it was a cat or not.

[@jeepstuff9189]

Yeah I’m not sure, maybe it’s an after market one that the previous owner put on or something.

Too far away from out flow of exhaust, needs more heat to do the job.
