Cut the muffler off and let er eat! I ran this set up on my xj 4 a while because the muffler fell off during some wheelin. Welded up a cherry bomb but its quiet... Sounds good with no muffler and I dont thing it will hurt anything because the cats provide most of the backpressure anyway.
And I'm assuming you have the 4.0L

well dont do anything redneck like removing catylitic conv (ILLEGAL) or chopping the muffler. spend some money on a cat back flowmaster system. it will be about 300 bones. if you want to do an amazing sound and performance improvement replace headers and cat back. if you tamper with stock exhaust it will mess up your compression and a bunch of stuff. if youre tigh on money, I guess you could go get a little rice rocket muffler put on there but my best piece of advise is spend some money on good equiptment and you wont have to replaceit multiple times, it just works

Most of the back pressure that is recomended to run these straight 6(assuming thats what you have)engines Is provided by the 2 catalytic converters. They are much more restricting I would not recoment removing them, but simpley removing the muffler and running 2.5 in piping all the way back will have little to no effect on backpressure. My recomendation is take it to a local exhaust shop and have them do it. Shouldnt be more than 100 bucks
