New Cat Needed

[Schnervel]

Jeep is throwing P0431 and the exhaust stinks. Looks like I need a new catalytic converter. Anyone replaced theirs before? I can't weld, so I'm thinking either I buy the entire replacement system and attempt myself or take to a shop for cat only replacement.

Looks like the whole system is $699 2005 JEEP WRANGLER MagnaFlow Direct Fit Catalytic Converters 93649 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing

Or the cat only is $205 2005 JEEP WRANGLER Flowmaster Direct Fit Catalytic Converters 2040004 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing

Shop might be the way to go given the long-arm...

Had ours replaced about 4months back.

Same code.

Cat replaced for a little over $200.



Best of luck.

cut off, weld in pipe. done

Cut off, use some nice band clamps to put on a catco high flow cat and magnaflow or walker muffler with walker tailpipe. Done it on many XJ's and the total cost comes in less than $200.

Just take it to a shop. One of the times it's worth it. They'll swap one in for damn near what you'd pay for just the cat.

B is right, and I just waited the 10-15mins for it.

Would love to do this, but then it won't pass emissions. Fawking EPA.

Take it shop and have custom exhaust installed while there.

CAN YOU SAY STACKS?!?!??!!??!

Bob, how many miles are on your LJ?

I *think* just under 75,000, but it's not possible to know exactly, since I never changed the computer setting after changing the tires, so the spedo always runs about 10% low. Was funny when the ex-gf thought she was going 75 and the cop pulled her over for 83

**** ya! Ours has quiet a few more.

We put at least 70miles/day when we carpool and about 50miles when K works from home.

Had to get the TJ's tranny rebuilt a few months back.

BUT the ZJ's miles aren't increasing. lol


That is funny about your ex.

Why did you bother adjusting for your tires?

presume you mean this ^^

Never had a computer to do it and never asked the dealership because I figured they would charge me $100 for simple math I can do in my head while driving.

I probably put less that 3,000 miles a year now on the Jeep. Probably much closer to 2,000 actually.
