no exhaust question
I have a 2001 cherokee, the muffler is rusted out and weld is off holding it on to the car. So it makes a vibration when I'm idling its soo annoying. Can I take everything off from the cat back? I plan on getting exhaust in 2 or 3 months and I heard the inline 6 sounds nice without the exhaust. Let me know if I can do this because I heard mixed opinions about the backpressure.

just to warn you, it's going to be REALLY loud. Loud enough that you stand a good chance of getting pulled over for it. I ran without a muffler for a few days, and got a headache almost every time.

x2. You think the vibration is annoying now wait until you take off the exhaust. I ran without a muffler for a few days and my interior had more vibrations than megan fox could handle. The whole inside rattled.
