You'll probably need to start it up so that you can hear the noise better when it's running, might make it easier to locate.

thats exactly where it is when its running. i just want to know if i need to replace the whole thing or not
If the sound is coming from the inside of the Cat then probably so if you want to get rid of the noise.
If your converter is rattling, it's gone and needs to be replaced. The honeycomb-looking filters inside start corroding and breaking apart, which is where the noise comes from. Sounds like a beer can with some pea gravel in it.
As with everything else Jeep, if you don't install OEMs, you'll get a code. It can be cleared, but still....
