Took off the exhaust that wouldn't stay in the mount at the transmission and was constantly bouncing off everything under the Jeep and replaced it with the downpipe off the XJ I parted out a while back and put a single 2.5" in, dual 2.5" out flowmaster knockoff (V-Force) on it with turndowns in front of the axle. Sounds pretty dang good for a 6 cylinder. I was scared it would sound like a ricer, but it's fairly deep until about 4000 rpm's, then it has a buzz to it

Close, mine are homemade from steel.
