Default Which exhaust to choose...

I know there were a ton of exhaust threads created, and when I was looking through them, flowmaster 40 was the muffler of choice. I looked up a few exhaust clips for the flowmaster 40 and half seemed like they were good deeper exhausts and half seemed like they were rice burners. The last thing I want is to spend 150+ on a muffler and tailpipe and have my jeep sound like a honda with a fart can and primer on it.

So truly what do the flowmasters sound like? Are there any other exhausts anyone wants to suggest?

i have a flowmaster 40 on mine. it sounded decent, not terribly loud and a little deeper then stock. personally i wanted it louder, i took the cat off, and much louder, grumblier idle and good sound at 2500K+

I have a Flowmaster 40 on my XJ and it sounds good, but I also have a Borla header and no cat(destroyed it on a rock). It has a nice hummm at idle and roars when opened up. Does not sound ricey at all.

You can hear it really good at @ the 5 minute mark in this video.
Did a cool 4 wheel burn out too.

I vote for a flow-pro. Looks/built like a FM but 1/3 the cost. Sounds good without being obnoxious. If you don't want to deafen the neighbors it's a good deal. performancepeddler.com

Fm 40 here too... Sounded better on my tj. But with the apn manifold and new cat, sounds nice at idle and around 1500 rpm.

It is all personal preference really. I like the straight-thru design mufflers better.. Magnaflow/Bullet Performance, Dynomax Ultraflo, AeroTurbine (very nice but spendy). For chambered, I would say.. a Flowtech Warlok. AS you can remove the "flow intensifier" and run straight out, with just a few wingnuts.
