Much appreciated.
I called and apparently the clamp issue has been fixed. I suggested the exhaust exits to the rear of the rear tires so Jeepers have more clearance at the bumper. I also brought up how one exhaust tip is approximately 1/4 lower than the other. I agree that it could be a hangar issue among other factors, not a big deal to me. When he offered to replace the Dynomax Exhaust, I was shocked. A lot of companies would have blamed it on the installation factors. Great job! I give

I agree, Wranglers must not go to IFS. According to a four wheel drive magazine (I forgot which one, my apologies), it is just a rumor however, I do agree that if they are thinking about going to IFS, they must be drinking cool aid and I want some...

Thanks! We are serious about our guarantee/warranty. I was told by my Sales Manager that they made one side a little lower to help get condensation out. Much appreciated on the call too.

Supposedly, the IFS is just a bad rumor according to a website in which I cannot name because I don't remember.

It is a deeper tone but not overwhelming and sounds a lot better than I expected. Everyone that has heard it, said it sounded good.

Manual, its a lot easier getting better gas mileage than an auto. I press the clutch down to coast down hills and when i know I coming to a stop. This helps but a lot of the credit goes to the intake, throttle body spacer and exhaust that I upgraded from stock. When it was stock, I just barely achieved 21 mpg and now, it is much easier to get better mpg.

I don't recommend placing an auto in neutral to coast down hills as it is hard on the transmission, from what I have been taught.
