On the AMC 2.5L inline-four, this degradation causes elevated exhaust backpressure, strangling low-end torque, elevating cylinder head temperatures, and triggering recurring check engine lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with a heavy-gauge stainless steel outer shell and an efficient ceramic honeycomb substrate, this direct-fit converter restores balanced backpressure and proper exhaust scavenging. Precision-welded OE-style flanges and integrated oxygen sensor ports eliminate exhaust gas leaks, bolting directly to factory downpipe and tailpipe mounts without cutting or custom fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1997-1999 Jeep Wrangler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eAMC 150 (2.5L I4) \/ TJ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e120 hp \/ 140 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ (2.5L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ (2.5L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ (2.5L L4 Gas)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Jeep Trail Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to withstand the torsional chassis flex, high vibration, and temperature shock of deep water crossings, this direct-replacement assembly provides durable emissions treatment and uninterrupted exhaust flow across demanding off-road terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50489477005560,"sku":"DS-EA8CNDF0S","price":208.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/catalytic-converter-for-jeep-wrangler-1997-1999-2-5l-1.jpg?v=1789163122","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/catalytic-converter-for-jeep-wrangler-1997-1999-2-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
