Seems like my mechanic didn't go nuts on the markup, b/c that's what he charged me for the muffler/cat. Labor was also very low. He's a good guy!

Other than the welding theres nothing to stock exhaust. 4 nuts on the downpipe and everything after that is already cut to length. Other than the welding its a 10 minute job to replace the exhaust.

Default Renewed ground connections

Made a new (-) ground strap and replaced corroded old one, took wire brush drill to the contact point. Did the same on the block and firewall grounds, per the advice of TJWalker. This seems to have fixed a lot of intermittent electrical problems.

Freshening up your grounds will certainly do that. Welcome to CF

Was your jeep running badly or did you just seafoam becasue it couldn't hurt?
I heard somewhere that if its not running badly dont do it?

You can destroy the motor with it, its a argued thing among us car guys if it hurts or helps so do some reading and learn, then deside if you trust it
