Default New cat converter

I've got a plugged converter on my jeep and I was wondering if replacing it would help out my gas mileage at all?

Sorry for the hi-jack but where is the supporting vendor section located? I seem to be the dummy that cant find it.

A bad Converter can restrict exhaust flow and give false readings to o2 sensors. That's the loss of fuel mileage and performance.
