2000 jeep chrokee cat values

**lousypirate** · 09-14-2014, 04:33 PM

Curious about the cat value on the standard single cat Cherokee as well as the three cats on the California emissions model. Ballpark is fine, just want to make sure I'm not getting screwed.

I have a few to scrap out.

Please itemize.

Thanks mechanic.

I don't think that applies to the two on the manifold though.

The small ones on the manifold are 3# Domestic Foils, worth about $20 each. The main, oval shaped converter has several variations, ranging from a Small Domestic at $55 to a High-Grade Jeep at $130. Some of the California emissions models have the good one.

For the oval cats, I need to know if it's 6", 8" or 10" from weld to weld. Also, there's a part code like 7R, 8G, 9N or 1G 2G. With the size and code from each one, I can tell you exact values.

The big jeep ones are about $50 or so and the other 2 are small wires which are i think around $4.00 per lbs.

But most of the jeeps i get or run across have a aftermarket on them for some reason so watch out for that also.

Thanks, Pirate.

Jeeps seem to have a lot of problems with their factory cats rusting apart or breaking up inside. I've seen too many with aftermarket cats

They're pretty easy to spot, though, as the original Jeep cats are easily recognizable from an AM.

Domestic wire/foil cats should still be $6-7 per pound, even with the lower market. On the bigger oval ones, it's actually the smaller 6" one that can have the good numbers. The 6" go by number, the 8" are pretty much just a Small Domestic, and the 10" pays a standard "Jeep" price like the older straight-edge style Jeeps.
