Default Muffler and Center Cap selection??

Okay so I know there are probably a million posts like this, but I just want a muffler kit for my '99 cherokee xj. I want to be able to get a pipe running out the back. I have thought that this pipe and this muffler would go well together and Thrush claims it will. Opinions on this one/maybe a different kit that's under $200?

Also I cannot find a site that carries center caps and I am at my wits end. What would you guys suggest? 15 in. rims.

Thanks a ton!

They have a muffler and tailpipe combo for just over $100 and that is with a flowmaster.

I think that some center caps are different sizes in diameter, I'm not positive but I would do a little research before you buy them

Just do what I did for center caps.





Stock caps from the 5 spoke steel Jeep wheels. Just painted them black. Have to drill holes in the wheel to mount them, but it's not hard.

That looks Really clean! Out of curiosity, why do you have to drill holes?

The stock caps screw on from the back with 3 screws, the aftermarket rims lack the holes, thus drilling must occur.
