yes, cut it off then get a rod or pipe that will fit in it. now get a hammer and beat the ceramic out of it. once it is all out just re-weld it. really easy. and it sounds a lot better. mine was plugged, not as bad but i noticed a huge improvement after i did this. the only reason i gutted it was because i couldnt afford a new one at the time. buy a new one when you can.
start the jeep up and put ur hand over the tailpipe. it should have alot of pressure coming out the tailpipe. if you can hold ur hand over it it is plugged and u SHOULD REPLACE IT

that is not legal. u should not be giving that advice. especially living in CA. u will not pass emissions and odds are it will throw a check engine light.

two converters. one for each down pipe from manifold. each converter has two sensors, one before, and one after the converter. pic is from the ground looking up to the engine.

my purpose of this post is to find out if i can delete one of these? i have got smarted of in another post. i am not trying to do anything illegal. im just trying to get the most out of the ol' heep, cause my power and mpg's have gone downhill. reguardles i will be removing the one in front of the muff. because i dont see the purpose in it. and i guess i will be replacing the other two. i just dont see the point of 3 converters, or even two for a little 4.0
The one before the muffler could be a resonator. This coming from a guy who doesn't know a lot about Cherokee's (just bought mine) but have had a resonator between the cat and the muffler on the five or so other vehicles I've bought in the past. If that isn't stock, perhaps a muffler shop has been "messing around" with your setup.
