hey guys,
i have stock exhaust but i want to change the way it sounds without spending 250 dollars and i dont want it loud soo i thought i would just replace the muffler with a flowmaster 40 series do you guys think that would do the job?
thanksguys

mine is not loud at all with flowmaster 40.

40 series is a great idea and I wanted to do the same thing but went with a cherry bomb turbo instead mainly because it was half the price lol It sounds pretty good and I like it compared to my glass pack. The flowmaster is definitely the better choice though

sweet so it should still sound good with the stock piping

i guess ill be doing this in the morning hopefully

my Buddie went to auto zone and picked up some cheep *** dyno something it wasn't dyno max but anyhow he clamped that b1tch on there and believe it or not it sounds pretty ballsy without the loud *** drone as your drive

hey im having trouble trying to get the stock muffler off i had to break the clamp in order to get it off but now i cant get the freakin muffler off i unscrewed all the other clamps too and i cant figure it out and i kinda dont wanna cut it off any ideas?

JerseyJeeper

I'd say patience and some pb blaster. I didn't have pb or patience so I cut it as close as I could to the muffler joint.

i had to cut mine off. mine came welded completly from the factory. just take a sawzall to it. as close to the stock muffler as you can. for a flowmaster it has a nice rumbble at idle and is quiet till you hit at 3k rpms then it sounds decent. i have one.. and personaly i like it from just cat back.

mitchell561

yaa but what about the oxygen sensor is kinda close to where i would have to cut

JerseyJeeper

Definitely take it out first. I left mine in while I cut the muffler off and it got too hot from the heat transfer from the blade to the pipe and it burnt out and my check engine light came on. I still haven't replaced it and that was last July lol. Just be as careful as you can when you do this. Be extremely patient and cut slowly and stop in between if you need to. It's better to take your time now so you don't screw something up later on.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing. What do you guys think about replacing that Cat? Any downside to leaving the OEM on or should I cut it off too and get a high flow Cat-back?

just did a cat-back on my cherokee. it is a dynomax system. i ordered it from summit racing for 155.00 delivered. it only took about an hour to put on. doesnt sound bad and comes with everything you need to install

dynomax has a lot of rebates on their exhaust systems.
