Default Ideas for exhaust?

I have a 90 Cherokee Laredo with all stock exhaust system. I want a whole new system but I don't know to much about them. I want it with a sound of not being super loud but also not quiet. Can someone please explain to me what I would need?

What size engine? I have a 4.7 running stock pre-cats, but an after market high flow cat and straight pipe after that.

i dont know if you consider this complete exhaust but i just put a raptor muffler by flowtech it sounds real nice to me fairly deep but not overly loud on a 2.8 picked it up for 20 dollars. just cut off the old one and clamped it on no other pipes after that. sorry if that didnt help but yeah

Ok since you have only one stock cat on that thing, just stick with running a Flowmaster Muffler. You can have a tip added on at the end, and it will sound pretty good and still retain the compression needed for good milage.. However, WELD, no bolt ons. Bolt on exhaust sucks. I strongly recommend having it welded.

I have my exhaust welded and well... NICE!!!!!!

+1 on the welding and flowmaster. my approach angles on alot of runs destroyed my factory exhaust though.. I got lucky and didnt destroy the header but basically everything from the cat back I had to re-do. My Exhaust is set up to dump between the shield on the tank and the wheel well. I will never have to worry about it getting caught up on a departure/arival on another obstical.

Read through the exhaust thread for muffler suggestions.

The tip doesn't do anything except make it "look kewl"

LMAO! Yeah.. Um more like a old school jag if youve ever heard one of them opened up... deffinatly not like any ferrari I've heard. The tip is just for a looks effect nothing else really. and Nitsujeep.. I would be careful about posting no cats or that.. Mods will get you. To the OP, really you can go with ANY muffler but I have a flow master and like it. the one thing you will have to consider though is the fact that some cans are huge.. and I mean when I welded up my 40 it hung down lower than I cared and that was with it mounted so high that it was litterly buttoned up against the floor of the tub, so I chopped it out after burning it in and decided on a different route because of that. So instead of bothering with the 40 I decided to run a flowmaster resonator which sounds great under acceleration/deceleration but is fairly quite when at idle or cruising. This is all that I am running on a factory cat .. http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/sh...e=&orig=15150S

well i cant go into full detail about my exhaust (take a guess lol) but ive got a flowmaster super 44 into duals that come out before the rear tire and I loveeee the way it sounds. Sounds like a cummins at cruising speeds and IMO sounds like a supra at rev limiter. Sounds awsome all around
