Knocked my cat and muffler off on the trail last night lol




It literally just sheared it off







Had to cut that piece off with a torch..

Hey I've done that before

I was actually thinking about doing that to bring it home but it fit in my trunk haha. I desperately need a cat now..

If you want a cheap catalytic converter I got a magnaflow high flow cat for a little over $100 on amazon, it said it was direct fit for the cherokee

ThatPurpleXJ

Have you got a part number for that?

triplets_red_xj

The only thing is that the o2 sensor hole in the cat. Is not threaded so you have to thread it yourself. I learned that the hard way

ThatPurpleXJ

Awesome thanks man I'll probably buy that this week. The innards of mine are shot

triplets_red_xj

Sure, I found it on amazon, you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else

ThatPurpleXJ

So I got my new catalytic converter thanks to triplets_red_xj for recommending it.

A magnaflow part number 23226



My old one was absolutely shot. Giving me about 8 mpg lol



Of course had to separate my muffler and cat so after some banging and cursing nothing happened so I brought out the big guns





Made quick work of it

94XjSport94

Nice. I think I broke mine again.

ThatPurpleXJ

Of course I then had to get the piece left of the cat out



Air hammer did nothing so back out came the torch









SOB..

ThatPurpleXJ

And voila.



I'll probably add a turn down soon since it doesn't line up with the pipe out back but it does sound very nice though

Also found out my track bar tie rod end is bad yet again.. Damn rc.. I'll probably get an IRO double shear later on. Also found my LCA are bad whoopee. I want long arms eventually so I'll just stick them for now.

I've got to weld mine my muffler has come off 3 times on the trail lol but first I need a welder

Same here. Last time it ripped off I was in this creek bed and ran over this old bridge piece of concrete and ripped it off then drug it in the mud. Then Lowrange2 kindly use some of his hose and try to clean out a muffler and cat packed slam full of mud.

ThatPurpleXJ

Yup my most recent one was coming out of this creek nothing even that much but it just sheared it right off



I'm pissed too I bought the cat on amazon yesterday for $151 but Saturday or Sunday it was on sale for $115 but I missed it..
