Well I went for the auto-zone $19.95 CB muffler and it sounds pretty good IMHO. Quiet at an idle and just right when accelerating. I think for the price until I can afford a flow master or something like that its a great deal...TJ

 

Good price and a good sound cant beat that. I am in the same boat waiting to save for a FM.

 

i was thinking of getting one of those, i think they have another one also thats not straight through so it would be a little quieter

 

imo save for a magniflow not a flowmaster... the ones i have heard sound like crap and they dont flow well. i like the cherry bomb.. i had one in my f150... it mad it sound pretty mean

 

Tomorrow I will put a U-tube video up of how it sounds so you can hear it...Tj
PS as for state inspection I have a friend who will pass me since they are not legal in New Jersey...

 

i was thinking of running a CB style muffler and maybe getting a 2.5" pipe fitted for a bit more flow

 

That sounds good, my pipes are good and so is my cat but when I need o replace my exhaust I will go for the 2 1/2 -3 also...Tj

 

I've had CB and flowmasters over the years on V8s and the CB are better in my opinion. the Flowmasters have an annoying drone at highway speeds, sound good the rest of the time but I like the sound of a good Cherry Bomb any day.

 

i got a flow master sounds sweet it was on my heep when i bought it

 

I had a Cherry Bomb glasspack like that on my old minivan. WAY too loud for my tastes.

I did put Cherry Bomb TURBO mufflers under my 90 XJ, my 95 ZJ and my friend 99 TJ, all 4.0s. Not too loud, good sound, and a bit more power and only $22 at Autozone...

I have a FlowMaster 40 under my 2.3 liter Ranger and it is almost too loud, but it sounds pretty good. I almost yanked it to put under my ZJ...

 

mine has no cat with 2.5 in pipe and a glass pac! sound really good quiet at idle and throaty under a load!

 

we put one on my friends tj and he loves it. here is me welding a turndown on it. it comes right off the header no cat
please excuse the large amount of distance between the tip and weld i shortened it up to about an inch a couple seconds later

 

they are a good choice for a smooth sound,im thinking of ripping out the old cat in order to get more tone though..a buddy of mine just did the same with the thrush glasspack and it sounds great.

 

I've got a Flow Master 40 and 2.5" pipe on my XJ. I love the way she sounds all through the rpm range.....but, I had a Chevy Nova back in the day with a SB Chevy and duals with glass packs. You just can't mess with that sweet of an exhaust sound.

 

i threw on a magnaflow, the only two things i can complain about is the loss in power (i no longer have a cat) and the loss of MPG. the exhaust breathes too well and doesnt give enough back pressure to the motor.
