I'm not sure of the stock measurements, but would it be possible to have a 2.5" cat and cat-back? was thinking of these so far: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mpe-99006hm http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-17748
I'm running a apn header custom 2.5" down pipe , 2.5" cat and cat back. I bought my magnaflow muffler and hiflow cat from mudfrog on here. Best prices around

Thanks, everyone, this stuff is really helpful. Is it necessary for me to buy the tailpipe or can I just go to Meineke with the cat and muffler and have them fit the pipe?

Fine a mom and pop type exhaust shop. They have way cheaper prices and do better work then. Chain shops. All custom exhaust shops have pipe on stock and bend on the spot

Which thunderbolt do I get "theres tons" does it come with the o2 sensors this is for a 96 xj country.and can I get 2.5 and throw it on cause the super 44 with the pipe is 2.5 on performance curve. Trying to figure out exactly what I need got inspection this month and as of right now not exhaust on.

What are bungs. I just wanma buy this and have someone put it on.I wanna be able to put the sensors right back on after everythings done.but one of my main concerns is the only way you basically can do 2.5 is if you get someone to make a custom downpipe? So I can just do a 2.25 cat and a 2.5 flowmaster exhaust then since I cant get the downpipe or no

Where is everyone in Southern New Jersey getting their muffler work done? I'd rather use a mom/pop shop than a big chain (Burlington/Camden county area, btw).

What are your guys' opinions on the Pacesetter headers available? They look like the best design you can get, especially for the price.

I have a '97 automatic that I want to put them on. I'm not too concerned about cracking in the exhaust from overheating, because this Jeep won't be going on any rough trails and will be mostly a pavement pounder.

I don't have state inspections so it's not needed in my area. I'm just curious if the Jeep would even run without the cat there or if it would cause it too run too cramps or anything Thanks in advance for any advice or response
Wether you have emissions or not removing a cat is illegal since it is federal It has to remain intact. I suggest installing a hiflow cat in place of the factory one
