Alright thanks, when I bought my XJ I found out it had a gutted cat and Flowmasters sound horrible without the cats honeycomb core... It had a check engine light when I got it but ever since I reconnected the battery no cel ?

I'm really interested in the flowmaster knock off, thrush glass pack. I'm considering it. good reviews. I think like $90


I see no point in getting anything other than a glasspack for the 4.0. anything else should require major overhaul for any added 'performance'

yeah scratch that. $37 for the thrush glass pack. I think I was looking at their actual muffler
sounds good in that video though. quiet, just deeper tone. perfect for me. just throwing it out there

Paid about 30 bucks for my thrush muffler from 4 wheel parts, if you don't want something too noisy I'd say it's a good buy

Why not run the system you had on your old one? That sounded sick.

I spent 2 hours with a exhaust cutter from oreillys and couldn't get it out.... Ended up with just the muffler tip. :| I ended up getting a Magnaflow. It doesnt sound as amazing as a Flowmaster but it doesn't drone either.... I also flows better. The Magnaflow looks so nice now. now my CEL is going off more because of the gutted cat though so that is annoying. I still have the cat from my old Jeep though....

No! Straight pipe and FM 40 series sounded like. Ricer 4 cylinder at 3k rpm, just another reason you should keep the cat, especially with a FM!

when i got my jeep form the po i found that he put a 30 inch glass pack on it with the cat still there and it is way to quiet for me was thinking of changing to something different

im used to a fm 80 series on my old ranger 3.0 it sounded like a 4.6 mustang

Guess who just beat their friends 2010 Camaro SS to 40 mph ? I did in 4 low... It was stupid to do that but fun as hell, gotta pay to play. Yes I realize the possible implications of doing that blah blah blah before anyone goes on a rant haha

I've raced a z28 from light to light and won a few times. Then again maybe he wasn't expecting much out of a jeep either lol
