    I have/had a weird sound on start up on very cold days too, and posted it somewhere in this site and others commented on it. I have not heard the sound for a while and so far have not done anything about it or located its source. Just to cold to go digging around since I don't have a garage.

    Has anyone tried this hardtop sound deadening / insulation?

    yes it is very fold-able, It is not quality heavy carpeting with a thick backing. This is used more for headliners etc. it can easily fold and make curved surfaces.

    Question about the catalytic converter

    I just bought a 97 TJ 4L 6 cyl and the PO said he cut the cat off and had a regular muffler welded on. I don't know anything about codes but mine seems to run fine and shows no codes. Gas mileage seems ok too. I also questioned if the computer would read things differently if the cat was not...
