If you've got an A&A auto near ya i'd go there and buy a magnaflow universal cat. pretty cheap and easy. They should have it in stock or they could get it by tomorrow for ya. I know we stock a ton of them at all times

I actually work at a Pep Boys in town here, but I'm thinking online may still be cheaper even with my discount....I actually found a basic one for 37.50 off of Mudfrogs vendor listing on here...www.performance-curve.com

You have an o2 sensor on your cat too? The guy at performance curve assured me that I shouldn't have one, but I'm almost certain that I do. I didn't have the car here to look at though

Yea its right after the cat before the muffler. I went to pepboys and bought a magnaflow universal cat and it didn't come with the hole for the o2 sensor. I took it back and they told me I'd have to buy a kit and weld it on so I just returned it and went to autozone and got a walker cat and it came with the threads for the o2 sensor. I have a 99 xj sport

The o2 sensor deal depends on the year. Either '95 or '96 they added the one after the cat. I'm pretty sure it was '96 when they switched to obd2.

YES, 1996 when it switched to OBDII, but its not ALL 1996's either... the switch to OBDII was a mid year change that was effective for the 1997 run.... I have found that not all 1996 cherokee's have the second O2, or even the same electrical setup either....

You're probably thinking on the one on the down pipe. I don't know of any vehicles that have them right before the cat. They put one on the down pipe to measure how efficiently the motor is running and adjustment accordingly and one after the cat to make sure the cat is in proper working order.

I disconnected my o2 sensor so I didn't break it off while working on the Jeep. I forgot to reconnect it and drove for a week like that... didn't change a freakin thing lol.
