If you open your hood and are half blind in one eye and fully blind in the other you can tell the difference between a v6 and a strait 6. Counting the number of fins on the back of your axle before you spend hundreds of dollars on gears is important. I don't mind making a jeep sound louder, just one of the things that grinds my gears is when people call it a v6, ahem auto parts store guy.
I was about to say the same thing
On the other hand, Everyone on this forum has asked a question without searching for "dead threads". I have search numerous times using exact quotes for threads I knew existed, even ones I had created but could never find.
Stick with it, this is a great forum minus a few haters

Each forum has a URL extension. I don't remember most of them, but the old For Sale section was www.cherokeeforum.com/f11
With the right forum extension, you can search your local region, the write up section, for sale or wanted sections, etc. For example, to search for a write up on how to fix the common No Bus gauge problem in late model Cherokees:

my buddy has a ~$165 magnaflow canister muffler on his LJ (only thing that fit with the rear four link) and it sounds boss. kinda like an old school bimmer straight six. its a bit loud after a while, and he's not the biggest fan of it either but it sounds damn good when you get on it. i'd get myself one but its just gonna get dragged over a rock, so i'll deal with my FM 50.

Legality and forum rules, you're not supposed to do it or discuss it here. Period.
Yes, you'll get a light depending on your year.
Laws differ state to state. Texas for example, a vehicle becomes emissions exempt after 25 years. Until just recently a turbo counted as a muffler and only vehicles burning gasoline as a fuel needed emissions equipment (kerosene and LP were given as exempt examples) so depending on how laws were read by the inspector, you could get away with quite a lot on late model diesels.
