flowmaster vs straight pipe
got a gurgly Renix i finally got it running good, do I run straight pipes so it sounds like a Cummins??
or run a super 40 series with a high flow cat?
I dented the stock muffler wheelin and thats a good enough excuse to ditch it for me.
All comments/expierience welcome
BTW 31x 10.5's MT's look SICK and fit on a stock XJ with no rubbage and M/T wheels

If you want it to sound like a Cummins, put a 4BT in it. Otherwise slap on a high-flow cat and a Flowmaster.
Don't go cat-less. Not only is it illegal, but you can lose some low-end grunt, too.

I'm happy with my FM 40 the "original" flowmaster, not the "super" or "delta" or whatever, 2.5" with a "high flowing kitty cat",lol. Just make sure to run at least a little bit of pipe out of the muffler, makes a world of difference in sound, at first I had mine with nothing coming out of the muffler, and it sounded like $***, like a riceburner with a coffee can exhaust tip, then I added just an 18" section of 2.5" straight pipe out of the muffler, and it sounds really good now.

Mine's offset in, center out, I have the muffler up against the frame rail with a piece of sheet metal I screwed into the body as an extra barrier/heat shield sandwiched between the muffler and the frame rail and floor board, it's definitely a tight fit, I was saying some pretty nasty things only sailors say when i was doing the install, LOL, but at least there's no more annoying noises coming from the exhaust pipe hitting everytime I hit a bump, my old exhaust was SHOT.
