I've got a 2007 JKU with a 3.8. It was misfiring for a month and I replaced the plugs and wires. The codes all went away. A few months later the P0240 code popped on. I replaced the up and downstream O2 sensors. There was also a missing bolt where the convertor mounted to the engine. I replaced that missing bolt and tightened it all up. Code still showing and the only culprit is the catalytic converter. A shop wants to charge me $1,300. The pipe system with converters at autozone is $1,400, but I've seen some online sites that have them for much cheaper.
Have y'all ordered any parts from places like A-Premium.com or CarParts.com and had any luck with them or am I better off just letting the shop handle this?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

I got a Walker converter for my 2007 from Rock Auto for $800 and it worked great. I only had the Jeep for 5000 miles after that but had no problems. Hardest part of the install was reaching the stupid bolts on the manifold flange.
