Default Exhaust Setup and Reviews

Thought we could have a exhaust setup thread with everyone letting us know what they are running and what results they have received from it.. Improved MPG? Improved sound or throttle response?? Cost of equipment and install?? What brand and what setup(cat back, headers on, what size pipe)??

If nothing else I am wanting to upgrade my exhaust and would like to know what everyone else thinks of what they are running. We have done this for oils and oil filters so I thought Exhaust would be interesting.

The exhaust set up in my truck is illegal in the states but since I dont live in the states its fine

I do have a generic high flow muffler in it which has helped with throttle response, mpg and sound, I would like it a little louder though

The whole system was done on the cheap by my local exhaust shop.

That sounds pretty good I found a place that deals with only cummins and I got my hands on a programer that can be flashed for a gas motor just like mine 4.0. When I did the cam work ported the intake and chipped it my jeep sounded like a cummins and performed low end amazingly. So check out my Vid and subscribe I you can Thanx

Damn, that jeep in the video sounded a hell of a lot better than mine. I'll have to upgrade when the weather gets nicer. Now when you guys put these in did you notice anything other than throttle response? I would imagine you would lose a few MPG's right? depending on what kind of system you run. Just curious
