Default Need exhaust recommendations

So I heard a rattle under my jeep and low and behold the back pipe broke off from the muffler. Rotted out

I'll need a full car back exhaust.

Any recommendations from 4wd.com or quadratec?

2000 Cherokee 108k miles



Thanks

Magnaflow cat specific to the XJ, and Flowmaster Super 44. Pipe size brings up a debate usually everyone says 2.5", but I did the stock 2.25" and it sounds great.

Thanks. I don't want a loud exhaust. Rumble is fine. I worry that flow master is usually quite loud.

Performance curve has cats that are suposed to be designed not to trip the cel. Might be worth looking into

Im currently running stock exhaust till the cat, then after the factory cat it expands to 2.5 inch and goes through a flowmaster 44 and a 2.5 inch tailpipe. I think the muffler was like 85 from summit, tailpipe came from rustys, think that was around 100. It can be tight trying to get the 2.5 inch pipe up and around the axle and gas tank. It sounds great though, at least i think. I had the exact same setup on my '91 only that had the apn header and a flowmaster cat, sounded much better than my '98

Thanks. Seems like a good choice. I could care less about going to a 2.5. Stock is fine. Tripping a CEL is not an option. I want this street legal.

That seems like a huge price tag to pay for something thats going to get beat up on trails. Ive cut my exhaust back even with the shackle because i got tired of smashing the end of the pipe shut

I love my performance curve exhaust with the flowmaster super 44! sounds great! now I just need to move my heatshield over so it stops rattling on the pipe. Great price too!

Just looked them up. Doesn't come with a cat. So $105 for muffler is good. This doesn't pull a CEL correct?

so I went with Borla, cat and aftermarket downpipe. With O2 sensors, think the whole package ran $750 for parts. Jeep is a money pit. Idiot who had the jeep before me welded the current aftermarket muffler to the cat pipe

anyone have the borla?
