I say the flowmaster 40 it actually gives you a lil more horse power having a muffler instead of a straight pipe. it have better back pressure not to mention it sounds better than straight pipe

just a little video of some seafoam

and i guess you can see what the jeep looks like cleaned up with the new tint! i love it dark its nice to drive in the middle of the day and no one can see me at all no matter what!!

Mario id go with a super 44 flowmaster. it gives it an almost v8 kinda deep throaty sound to it
i used to have mine set up like that but now i have this high flow straight flow muffler called a triple s (SSS) my brother gave it to me so im the only jeep in town with that muffler maybe even the only one using that muffler in general he ordered it somehwere
but then again i dont have any cats or anything either so its loud!

I say go for the Flowmaster also. I'm thinking about getting the same thing for my XJ. Just haven't decided if i want to keep stock piping, or do 2.5".

I'm putting a flowmaster super 44 on mine with 2.5" or 3" exhaust haven't decided yet. I'm looking for the deep bellow of a v8 without the v8.

Albuquerque's tint laws are rarely if ever enforced. My WJ was so dark, you could put a flash light right up to the window, and you still couldn't see anything. I daily drove that for over two years, and was even pulled over a few times in it (for other things) none of the cops even mentioned my tint.

you mean like this?









doors are really easy to take on and off. about 2 minutes and that is reinstalling the light switchs and rubber boots for the speaker wires






trailer plugs (get the 12" extention from wally world for $4) work wonders for connectors. (i need 4 wires per door to do into my cross overs)

thanks guys i really like how my jeep is looking just gotta save up im hoping when im done i want it to be at 5.5 and 37s. most likely full widths lokced and caged

but that wont happen anytime soon cuz im a poor broke kid!!

brian the cherry bomb sounds good i had 2 other buddies running them i liked it so much i almost went out and got one but i didnt wanna change out what i have

tint laws??? what are those??? just kidding
ya its 5% all over
i know its technically illegal but i did it myself and it cost me a total of almost 45 bucks and its nice to have a little privacy
my brothers mustang is 5% on the front doors the rear is a layer of 5% with a layer of 25% on that and those little side windows have double 5% layers
you cant see inside of it in the middle of the day with your face pressed against the windows

so far neither of us have had any trouble with tint laws
whats the worst that can happen?? get a court date
show up with pictures saying i removed the tint and it gets dropped and then just go back to walmart and re-tint it

im going to swap out my doors to half doors tomorrow just gotta finish up my passanger side and ill be set
