Any old catalytic converter on my TJ?
 

My cat is rattlin', and I'm getting sick of it. Dealer wants $450, local shop
wants $250... any reason NOT to go with a non-dealer catalytic converter??

Nope, no reason not to go with a non dealer. IMO the non dealer price is a
little high as well.

What year is the TJ? I think the Cat may be covered for 7 years as part of
required emissions warranty. Happened to a Saab I had 10 years ago...
