Great Product, Great Fit!!!
Item came well packaged and undamaged. Production of the product was good as well. Nice welds, good fitment. Direct bolt in. I replaced the downstream cat as well as the cat-back exhaust. There was a noticeable peformance increase. Not sure on gas mileage yet. Exhaust note is a little more aggressive, but not much more than stock (I run topless/doorless for most of the year). My only gripe is that the mounting hardware wasn't included. If you are getting this unit, plan on throwing the existing bolts away. I got 3 out of 4 off in a recognizable state, but the last one I had to shear off to get it removed. Not completely unexpected for a 2000 TJ though.

OEM replacement
Took longer to get the old one off due to seized flange bolts. Major power and performance. Engine has 213000 mile and now it runs like new.

This is the one to get for your 4.0 liter engine
I got this with the Maganaflow cat back exhaust. This entire system sounds incredible. No drone what so ever but a nice deep sound.

Magnaflow exhaust with Catalytic converter.
Easy install that took about 1 hour, everything bolted up easily. Looks and sounds much better than my original exhaust with a worn out catalytic converter and stinky exhaust.

Nice Upgrade
We’re replacing the exhaust system on our 99 Jeep Wrangler and wanted a new cat. Did some research and decided this was the one. Found it at ET at a great price. Mechanic had it on in a day and was impressed with the product. Great sound. Still so not not sure about improved MPG or performance yet.

Magnaflow Direct-Fit OEM Grade Catalytic Converter
Old y pipe was getting clogged and O2 sensors where getting old so I improved upon what I already had. Painted it with vht flame proof red paint. Bolted up perfectly to the rugged ridge header that I installed and finished it off with the cat back borla exhaust.
