I use fram. My dad uses fram. Haven't ever had a single problem.
Don't expect to have a problem.
Fram gets a worse rap than it deserves, but for a dollar more at Wal-Mart why would you not use the MOPAR one?

450. Powertrax so it's a little pricey. Heard horror stories about Aussie snapping pins in the 8.25 so...

Put a Thrush welded muffler on. It was a little odd because it had 2 1/4 inlet and outlet (ID). It slid onto the old pipe where I cut out the rusty muffler with a little persuasion (a soft blow hammer), so that must have been 2 1/4 OD. I also needed a short extension between the muffler and tailpipe, because the Thrush was a couple of inches shorter than stock.

Sounds nice. I'll have to see if it helps mpg.
