So in an attempt to replace the O2 sensors in my 96 with a 4.0, the rather tender catalytic converter essentially ripped apart... great. So I'm shopping for an el cheapo universal converter. I found a yitamotor universal 2.5" inlet and 2.5" outlet diameter, it's not clear if that id or od. It has the O2 port as well, for 49.99 on Amazon. Will this work for the 96? Says it's good for up to 5.9L and 6000lb.

 

you check on summit? be nice to get one that you know will slide right back on and have bung for 02

 

OEM style is what you need for everything to work properly including placement of O2 sensor for correct ECM management. They are not that much and can be bought from many vendors local and online.

 

I bought this one and it slipped right on my '98. Works well after about 1100 miles Not sure if there's an exhaust difference between 96 and 98
