Catalytic question
so my cat has been toast for awhile purrty sure thats why my exhaust manifold gasket was blown awhile back. so heres my question i was talking to a friend about needing to replace my cat and he offered me a like new converter from an H2 hummer which if i remember correctly had true duals with a cat for each side would this work for my xj? to much flow not enough flow? not legal? etc or should i just go fork out the 200 somthun bucks for the specific one for jeep.... hoping i dont get in trouble for this from CF cause im not sure 100% of the rules on this subject

You would need to look to see if the input and output pipe diameters are the same size. As long as you aren't discussing removal or disabling of emissions equipment (which you aren't) then you are fine.
You can get a universal that will fit the XJ for less than $100 if the one your friend offered doesn't work.

what years your xj? in CA emissions can be a pain. if it's older then a 95 you'll be fine as long as pipe diameter are the same, post 95 OBDII as long as the downstream O2 sensor is within 6" of the OE location you should be fine. providing the cat meets Ca (not federal) standards.
EDIT: I'm assuming your XJ is a 90 off your screen name. you should be fine.
