No muffler! The MBRP is good for me but its definitley not the loudest nosiest out there, its one of the few that dont make the JK sound like a rice rocket though.

If it's too quiet than special order a shorter muffler body than the one that borla sells in the JK kit. The videos I heard side by side it did sound slightly quieter than the magnaflow but completetly wins with the deep throaty sound it had. When I finally hide enough money from my wife for a muffler I will purchase a muffler body from borla and follow the write up found in the write up section here. Borla is the deepest.

get a magnaflow can with straight through design - short body. 14156?

That's a 12" long 4" round race magnaflow. Might be smooth and powerful but loud as hell. Just bolt that in place of the stocker. Ha.
