Default Cooltech muffler relocation kit.....

Cooltech muffler relocation kit.....https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/sponsoring-manufacturers-vendors-check-out-cyber-monday-specials-24/cool-tech-jk-exhaust-kit-5296/

What do you all think of this kit especially if you have bought it.....

What are your opinions,..... Would you buy the same one again?

I am wondering if I should get this from cooltech and free up the dead space in the rear for clearance, mods, or a winch in the rear.

or,......... I am thinking of getting the borla catback system.....

I have been struggling with this for 3 weeks and am going to let you guys decide ........ lol


AND ALSO.......

Does anyone know if this will work with the skidrow Skidplate?

the cooltech is "OK" but the 2 major restrictions in the exhaust are the muffler and that stupid clearance "dent" above the rear sway bar.

They got rid of one and left the other.

I just installed the Cooltech on Sunday. I really like the sound and the directions were easy to follow.

I bought my own stainless Magnaflow muffler for $65 on ebay, took off the stock one, cut out a section of pipe under the seat, installed the stock muffler heat shield in place, installed my new muffler with temporary clamps, cut the "dent" out by the axle, went to the muffler shop and had them bend me a tail pipe to slip on and weld everything up for another $60...

I have a total of $125 in my system with no dents and it sounds great

BTW....Cooltech is the same thing, you have to do the work cutting the pipe and installing it into the factory pipe.

Ditto, I did the same thing. I have a little shy of $100 in my set up, but you could buy the muffler and have it done at a shop for $150, half the price.
