91 YJ catalytic converter?
 

Can anyone recommend a catalytic converter for my 91 YJ? There is a
huge difference is prices. I'm going to put it in myself and cannot
weld. Cheaper the better.

Thank you,
CTM

Get it welded in. (in some states the cat must be welded on the engine
side, has to do with emissions laws)

A good local muffler shop should be able to do the job for $100 or so.

In what states does it have to be welded? Or is this more California
craziness?

I can understand the OP's concerns about economy, but a budget converter
installed on the cheap isn't going to last long. Mine (OEM part) has
been on there since the emissions recall of 1995, and is still going
strong. I doubt that the "guts" are still in it, but that is what a
free flow exhaust is for, to let the converter chunks out. Seriously,
this isn't something you want to go cheap on.

Cheers,

Earle

Could be. I checked the Oklahoma regs and they don't specify. Thought
the local muffler shop told me that when I was thinking of swapping to a
bolt-in unit.

The only problem I have with clamps is on many installs the
pipe tends to rotate. A spot weld is usually all it takes
to keep things in place.
