Default Thank you

Thanks for all the feedback guys, much appreciated. I looked into the banks monster and it seemed like a pretty safe bet with volume. However, I've heard a lot of good things about the sound on the MBRP. So I think I'm going to go with the MBRP, I'm positive that I will be happy with the results. Combined with the air intake and the flashpaq, I think I'm going to get a pretty nice sound out of it. Thanks again!

I've got a AEM brute force CAI and a dynomax custom exhaust (same muffler used in the rock crawler system). I wanted to do custom bc I just learned how to weld and needed a project. Plus saved some dough doing so, but anyway, could not be happier with the sound and performance. Roars on startup and you don't hear it until you get on it. I can still hear my intake well over the sound of the exhaust. I had about 5 people ask me what kind of exhaust I was running at the last trip. IMO dynomax and mbrp are the best sounding/performing systems out there. My buddy runs MBRP and it would be my second choice.

I am thinking of the Rustys exhaust for my 2012 (if it fits). Its bolt on and uses a Cherry Bomb that is similar if not the same to the Flowmaster 40 or 50. I had a thrush on my 2008 JKU. I was not looking for more power just a little sound. Anyone have any thoughts on the rustys?

I really like my Rusty's exhaust. Best deal on the market if you ask me. Last I checked, Qtec had the same exhaust labeled Rugged Ridge in the $400 range. It is an axle back, not a catback but the muffler is much smaller than stock and tucks up nicely.

I have this Dynomax system. I have had Dynomax products on other vehicles and have been happy with sound and quality. This system is no exception. Love the location of the muffler, quality, ans sounds awesome. I put in on myself in around 45 mins.

The exhaust sold by Rusty's is the lower priced Cherry Bomb Pro. While the one sold by Rugged Ridge is the higher priced Cherry Bomb Vortex. Thier not the same muffler's. You can look them both up on the CherryBomb wed site. CherryBomb sell's the Cherry Bomb Pro on thier Web site for the JK just like the one rusty sell's but does not sell the Rugged Ridge Vortex on thier site for the JK..

How does it sound? Does it drone real bad?

Thanks, one of the most popular exhaust system for the JK out there.

Point taken, but the last time I looked the RR thru Qtec priced at $400+ looked exactly the same as what I have. Maybe someone needs to check out what pictures they have up.
