I have a new felpro manifold gasket
Do I need to use any sort of gasket dressing on it? I have a can of copper spray gasket sealer but I don't want to use it for the only reason that I already own it

You should be fine on a '96. The '96 I had had the O2 sensor before the cat. Computer doesn't even know if the cat is there or not. If you're going to hollow the cat out, you should weld in a section of pipe to help direct exhaust flow or you can notice a drop in torque.

Dear Exhaust Genius,
I just purchased a fully stock 2001 XJ and I want to do a full exhaust header-to-tip upgrade cats and all. I want to be cali compliant due to being active navy and there being a good chance I will be back in SD in about a year. Do I have any options with all parts costing under 1k? I am looking for better tone (not much louder) and some performance gains. Thank you, Great Sage.

That would more than hold you over. The FM Super 40 is a very desired exhaust setup.... especially with a 2.5" pipe.
