Hey, why dont you post some more irrelevant information!

 

Lol this thread is awesome

Obviously noise is a concern, but that changes depending on jurisdiction. Another requirement is that mufflers are spark arresting do you don't drive around setting things on fire. A turbo could serve this function, some resonators/mufflers like a some glasspacks don't. I recall a thread about this somewhere regarding wheeling at some national or state park.

 

Yeah, some folks dont know when to quit. But I see your point about sparks and whatnot.

 

Yeah...um...how many turbo Cherokees are there running around?

Not many.


So lets bring up turbo Vettes and SRT-4s more cuz those road going vehicles have SOOO much in common with our off road intended Jeep Cherokees....oh wait...


Different application. Doesn't really do much for the topic at hand...clamped on mufflers falling off...


Great work.

 

You put your clamps on with an impact driver and they still came loose??? Or did someone simply steal your muffler?

 

Actually it boils down to what was OE on that vehicle. Technically speaking any muffler that was not purchased at a dealership is illegal. Obviously it's not enforced like that but sadly that's the case. Even funnier is that dealerships will buy parts from local suppliers like us. So technically you can buy the same exact muffler but depending on where you buy it from it could be illegal. Gotta love laws

 

That's how a lot of ordinances are written. Can't "modify" from stock unless you use like parts with similar function. If it had a muffler OEM...it needs to still have a muffler.
If it never had one, or if you replaced it with something else...ordinance part II kicks in...it still needs to meet local noise specs. If it can do that without a muffler, and there was no OEM muffler from the factory... should be OK.

 

Nah, just slap on a turbo. Everything will be fine!!

 

Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind.

 

Welllllllll....got the muffler on. And then had to have a wrecker pull me out of a ditch where i was muddin'. Funny part was i had forded three creeks and two bigger mud holes before it :/ I'll post a pic when i can. Phones being dumb. And the flares weren't the only casualty...Had to be towed back to Camden cause the lousy straps holding the rear driveshaft in at the diff came off from the lousy bolts breaking...

 

Off topic, but I said I'd post pics of it when I could. If you can see in the background, that's a fairly wide, semi-deep creek below a bridge. If anyone on here knows south Arkansas, that's right off Highway 9, between Holly Springs and Eagle Mills. And I am now missing all my flares...the back two came off somewhere and the front two came off when I tried to get out of that hole with no bottom...At one point had two sheriff officers, a state trooper, and an ambulance all at once show up!
