Replacing exhaust?
So I went mudding and climbed a hill with 4 of my friends and when I went to come back done cus I couldnt make it over the exhaust got stuck into the ground and took me an hr to dig out and then the tip of the pipe hung about 2 inches from the ground. I used a wire coat hanger for now but i was planning on going to the junkyard and taking one off a old cherokee or do you guys have any other recommendations on what to do?

Well it looks like the mount is broken. A cat back system won't fix that problem for you unless it comes with all new brackets. If not than it's back to the junkyard for a new bracket.

And then after you get the exhaust, it looks as if you might have to get that rear hangar welded back to the "frame"..

Yep it looks like the piece that the last hanger goes into is broken so you will need to find that. And yes all new clamps are included as well as the middle hanger is welded where it needs to be. As far as sound, i'd say good it has a nice tone over stock but not as loud as a flowmaster, but with the rebate, your not going to get as clean of a system with that nice of a tip for anything near this price! btw i got mine off amazon for 142.95 shipped! so roughly $68 after rebate!

I dunno why yours is hanging like that... After I took off all of my ubolt hangers I still couldnt get it out of the original position for at least 30 mins of tuggin and pulling after pb blasting the **** out of it! I dont think it would be too hard to figure something out to hang that rear piece up though. Btw... Just put on that dynomax exhaust and it sounds good under load but at idle it has a very low drone to it and if you rev it up not under load (i.e. in neutral) it doesnt resemble a V8 at all (hope you wouldnt think it would anyway) but it definitely sounds good and I can tell that it has more low end from the back pressure of a new muffler. Ill comment again after the break in period.

i got the new dynomax 17340 muffler and exhaust on. its sounds a little deeper than the stock. took me an hr or so to remove the old one due to all the rust, then it took me 10 minutes to put the new one on.

Yeah... That was my same experience... Broke most the bolts and just broke the hanger off... New one went on perfect and without any hang ups.
