Default Dynomax Exhaust thoughts- please

I'm looking for some feedback as to whether the Dynomax Cat Back sounds good on a 3.6 liter(2012).
I'm spending way too much time in a hotel overseas and have started ordering stuff online for my Jeep again (I need to take up a less time consuming hobby like crack, prostitutes or drinking). I keep dreaming up ideas and projects and am now looking to modify my exhaust so I can add a larger storage tub in the back. Eliminating that huge muffler in the back is a start; a new sound is a bonus. Therefore, I have a few questions for those who own, or have heard the Dynomax exhaust and are willing to participate:

1) What is your overall impression in regards to the sound? Sound bites on the internet seem useless to me (my tablet speaker sounds different than my blue tooth speaker) so I am really interested in hearing from someone that has heard it for themselves. Obviously most owners of the exhaust are going to ‘Like’ it, so I would tend to weigh the feedback from a non-owner a bit more.

2) Does it make your Jeep sound like a ‘Rice Burner’, for lack of a better term?

3) Is there a ‘drone’ on the highway? Hard top/soft top/no top

4) Has anyone used Dynomax’s 90 day performance and sound guarantee? The sound guarantee is really selling it for me. I installed a Magnaflow exhaust on my 2011 and ended up not liking it. Don’t want to make that mistake again.

5) For the owners out there; Do you get any compliments on the sound?

Thanks so much for any input you might have.

Have a Great Day!

You need to think about clearance too. I had mine for less than a week, and because it hangs lower than the frame, I'm not that happy. I did like the sound though.

Mine has been "bumped" also, not as bad as yours however. I also like the sound, but mainly bought it to avoid muffler and pipe damage - neither of these goals was accomplished.

I have gotten compliments on the sound.

I like that it's black, but do they have a single side exit? The dual rear exit is just begging to get ripped off on a steep angle reverse.
