Flowmaster 40 Knock Off

MagnaFlow Knock Off
Turbo Muffler
Glass Pack
MagnaFlow MagnaPack Knock Off
Super 10 Knock Off

Like the Glass Pack, the 10 knock off would not work with your tailpipe without modifications.


Just a few options.

I don't blame you one bit. I ran glasspacks back when I was a teenager but I liked loud and obnoxious. I still like loud but prefer a deeper tone to the higher pitch sound of a glasspack.

Is the Flowmaster 40 knock off a direct bolt on to my stock xj system? Any fabrication needed?

It's going to be shorter than the stock muffler so you would need an extension between the converter and muffler. The tailpipe that we offer makes up for the shorter muffler.

I've had an XJ and a ZJ in the past. On my old XJ (1990) I ran a MagnaFlow converter part number 94005 and an 18" Xlerator muffler with our tailpipe. It sounded really good. Not overly loud and very little resonance.

On my ZJ I went with the Thunderbolt Metallic High Flow converter (415250) and the same muffler. It was considerably louder. I'm still surprised at how much louder the high flow converter made it. I ended up going with a 14" body Xlerator and another 14" body Xlerator. It's a quieter than before but the drone is almost gone now, the drone was the big issue when using a 415250 and 18" body muffler.

I've been toying with the idea of running this 5"x11"x22" Xlerator to quiet it down a little more. It doesn't bother me and I actually prefer the sound but it does tend to get on the family's nerves

Does going from 2.25 in tailpipe to 2.50 make a significant improvement in any areas?

The flowmaster website tells you about the sound each muffler produces.
Thanks, do you know what is required to mount a Super 40? They are pretty much the same just a little bit different in size. What size extension would I need after the cat?
