Default cat convertor question

so i just went out and bought a cat convertor for my 93 cherokee just because it sooooo loud in my jeep i cant think straight. i swear if u road in my jeep and u were trying to talk to me i wouldnt hear u unless u were screaming lol but all the holes in the floor doesn't help any i guess, but any ways do i have to have o2 sensors on it or not im curious. btw i have a dynomax muffler with no tailpipe.

should take the dyno max muffler off and put a stock muffler on it, then it wouldnt of been so loud. yes you need o2 sensors or it will throw the computer off.

i would add a pipe to that exhaust to take the fumes from undernieth and to possible move the sound further back. My o2 sensor is attatch right after the cat i believe, its raining out so i wont go check lol. But yea 2 o2 sensors.

I believe OBD-I ('95 & earlier) have only 1 O2 sensor, in the exhaust beside the motor.

I have a 93 there isn't a censor by the cat, cat should be under passenger seat literally right behind the crossmember that supports like the transmission, should be about a foot of pipe and then the muffler that should be under back seat this is all on passenger side hope this helps

thank you ur info helped alot. i just went out and took a look and where the header pipes connected to the downpipe to the cat their is a o2 like 6 inches below where the 2 bolt together.so according to ur info where the cat is sopposed to be by the crossmember for thr transmission the preveious owner put the muffler there, so that means i gotta buy a short pipe so i can move the muffler back some more.
