Looking for a muffler.........
I'd like to replace the stock muffler in my 2001 Grand Cherokee with something a bit more aggressive sounding......... It has the I6 engine so I know it won't sound like a V8 but I do want it to sound more throaty....... any ideas? My stock muffler has a small leak in it so now is the time to make the swap.
Thanks in advance,
RIZ

do not go with flowmaster they are heavily overrated.
check out performance curve, MudFrog here on CF is a vender, he hasnt been on recently so i uggest calling the company or emailing them. but they should be able to help you out and get you the right muffler for your exact setup.

Any exhaust sound from a 6 cylinder engine doesn't and never will sound pleasing to the ear. We've experimented with split headers into two pipes and it sounded worse. The best you can get is a deep tone smoothed out into a constant sound without individual cylinder pulses. Ever hear a V10 or V12?
IMHO, a Flowmaster is about the best you can go for sound and performance. They will give you that deep tone at anything but WOT, but sound not so nice when you stick your foot into it. Ever hear a rice rocket with a straight through muffler? It grates on the nerves, to say the least.
You can also change the sound of your I6 with a header that the tubes are all the same length.

My friends and I love them on classic V8s and would never run anything else. They sound great and are a reverse flow muffler without packing and flow freely. They are a bit expensive but last a long time, usually longer than the pipes!

cheap muffler that sounds good to me.
I have been ask if it was a flowmaster but I don't really hear the similarity that much. I have a super 40 flowmaster on my Inline 5 cyl GMC canyon and my jeep is louder.
