Definetely my next upgrade. Is there any difference in sound between the 'Off road' (before muffler) exhaust and the stock location exhaust MBRP?

i got the cheapest one, just the aluminized one for $295, it definitely was worth it. Its not too loud so you wont sound like an annoying teenagers sports car, but also not too soft. Just i nice deep tone that is MUCH better than stock. I love mine and would buy it again if i needed to. I think i will stick with MBRP from now on.

Congratulations. I see by your avatar you have an unlimited. On the two door I had the entire exhaust taken down to the CAT but couldn't get that last clamp off. The bolt just wouldn't budge. Ended up putting the stock back on and driving to a muffler shop where they couldn't get the bolt off either so they cut it off with a torch.

Thanks for the info! What do you recommend for the long run? the black is pretty cool but i think the stainless would probably last longer.

The systems sound almost identical...Both have a deeper, more aggressive tone, but the off road relocation system will be slightly louder than the rear muffler. Both systems are almost undetectable on the highway, but provide a nice tone when you want it.

I had this exact same problem... it took me forever to get that one clamp off. I ended up having to use a cheat pipe that i had to cut myself because i couldnt get anything to fit in the small space... i put all my clamps facing downward, unlike the stock clamps, so this way if i ever need to get them off again it wont be quite as hard.
