Exhaust for 83 YJ
I've got a YJ build around a 1983 base. The only parts that are original
1983 are interchangeable with the donor 1987. Therefore my YJ doesn't need to pass a smog test, only safety inspection. My exhaust finally let go this weekend. George Foreman (Meinke sp?) says its $850 - $1150 to replace. Everything except the manifold needs replacement. I figured I'd spend a few hundred dollars having them do it instead of crawling under it and pounding for two days, but for that kind of money, I'll grab a case of beer and start pounding. Seeing as I'd like to tread lightly on the atmosphere, I should probably go with a catalytic converter. What should I get for a replacement? Suggestions requested. |

Call Around.
In the Cincinnati area Cat-Back installations are usually available for $100 or less with a lifetime guarantee. Adding a new converter will add a few hundred to the price.

What are they using? Gold plated stainless or something?
The complete system for a CJ7 runs under $300.00. Front pipe, muffler, tailpipe, hangers and Speedy Muffler's labor. I get 5.89 NOx running with a 2" straight pipe and a dynomax superturbo muffler. The muffler alone is something like $71.00. CJ's use a straight pipe with the exhaust on the driver's side.
