I first installed a 40 series flow master with a 2 1/2" tail pipe. Sounded ok. To quiet. Removed that and installed a super 10. Very nice rumble and no to loud.

I drive a 93 XJ 2 door, 2 wheel drive. I need to replace my exhaust system. I want a better sound that doesn’t sound like a fart in the wind. Suggestions?
Hello, Just picked up a 1999 XJ. It has an aftermarket header. I don't know the Maker. The bolts you are talking about in the picture, are they threaded in or are the just bolts going through the flanges. Mine are stripped and need to be replaced. I can't get them to turn and I don't want to snap them off. I have soaked them with break free solvents but, No luck. I just need to make sure they are not pressed in and can be changed. New to this Jeep thing.
Thanks,
Mike

Tail pipe test ( for the state) will tell the truth. Know and learn your state requirements . Because Nevada's variations the FlowMaster CAT 3" does the job. Still getting @ or more than 20 mpg on HYW.
has anyone ever used the kspmotor headers? their pretty cheap so its possible their complete garbage but im looking for a header that wont crack super often, the banks headers are just really expensive so im trying to avoid them
Just ordered the Northeastern Exhaust 1996-1999 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L Complete Exhaust System Kit for my 96, anything I should know for installing it? I've never worked with the exhaust system before besides patching a hole in the tailpipe.
Probably been answered in the last 12 years and 350 pages. I'm not reading it all to see.
Maybe mods can consider making a dedicated exhaust section, instead of this nonsense?
Anyway, I got a cheap ebay header and this happened to me... but not the first time. The dang header rubbed the tube from cylinders 1 & 6 and I didn't know it. Later, I removed it so I could grind down the intake manifold - which can be done a lot on 1 but hardly any on 6 - you can try to dent the tube on 6 if you want.....
Anyway, I reinstalled and had this immediate symptom revving to the rpm limiter before I could shut it off (it startled me greatly).
There was a spot the manifolds fit *just right* and I got lucky the first time. And the 3rd time.

So I got my new header and precats in and got everything buttoned back up correctly, or at least I think lol but now when I got and fire it up it acts like I’m flooring it. It runs up to 5K RPMs and doesn’t sound like it’s going to stop increasing (I’ve shut it off before it’s gotten past that every time, which is a few seconds). I’m unsure if this is the normal ignition and I’m just shutting it off before the RPMs come back down, or if it’s doing this because I only have open headers or what. Plz help!
