Actually I'm not. I don't like the minivan "sporty" sound. I'm just looking for something nice. That Mercedes for me have a nice sound and wouldn't mind having something that sound similar. Something's wrong with that?

Also take into account that most people record the sound of their exhaust as soon as it's on. The sound will change gradually over the first 3 months while it goes through a few heat cycles. As well as people on YouTube are not recording on high quality mics for sound. I would suggest finding some people around you that have swapped and ask to hear it in person.

Good luck.

I have to agree. Just listen the the V-8 trucks with exhaust systems versus a V-6 car or truck... It will never sound the same. It's more about where the sound is coming from (engine) than the system it's running through (exhaust). I personally like the sound of the MBRP systems on the Jk, however on past vehicles (v-8's). I've loved Magnaflow.

I'd love to have the sound I got from my suburban with a 454 and edelbrock headers, 3" pipes to a flowmaster 40 series muffler then out the back with a 4" pipe. But heck, I'd like to marry a millionaire too, but it ain't gonna happen.

Although . . . anyone cram a GM crate 502 into a JK?
