Dang I was hoping that may have been the cause since I don't have one at all. The previous owner just put a small bolt in the end of the hose.

Guess I may have to get a new cat after all.

I'll tell you the cause of your mileage... You drive a Jeep Cherokee :P and a new cat may help a bit. Mine was totally shot!

Also get under your jeep and look at the entire exhaust system for any bends or kinks. I had a huge dent in mine the was choking the motor and causing bad mileage.
