Gibson Cat back split exhaust. Sounds great, no really loud at idle but sounds like a small V-8 when taking off.

FLowmaster 40. Cheap upgrade, sounds good, looks way better than the garbage can that came stock. Only cost me around $140, installed including the muffler!

Default Magnaflow

I have a magnaflow mounted about a foot behind the Y (where the two pipes come together under the driver seat), sounds great a WOT and nice and quiet during regular operation. I woyuld avoid a flowmaster and gibson as they really dont sound that great IMO but I love my magnaflow its awesome and quiet when I want it to be!

It has a good throaty sound at idle and has a little rumble when you take off. It reminds me of the 4.0 that the older wranglers had. Total price was $110.00 including installation.

I included a couple of photos and a movie clip, sorry but it was kind of windy.

I like the look of the exhaust in the rear, but it does reduce your departure angle on obstacles. Just something to consider.

You should check out Cool Tech. I like the sound and gives you a little more power. Kit goes together easy couple of cuts and your done and looks good too.

^ I won't jump on that band wagon!

I installed my Gibson Dual system just the other day and I love it!
As does my wife.

I actually noticed a little extra PEP overall!

The photos I took probably don't do it justice, but if you watch the video you can see that the exhaust is pretty much in line with the rear recovery hook and the receiver hitch. It could get smashed down a bit I think the rear bumper will catch most of the damage.
