Default Exhaust Question?

Looking to upgrade the Exhaust on my 2008 Sahara 2 door. What is the Best upgrade without spending a fortune. Will this void my Factory warranty if I upgrade? Does anyone have any pictures of an upgrade?

i installed a Rancho exhaust which relocates the muffler from the rear to the center of your jeep. this is a shot of it on my unlimited and i had the the pipe cut short because of my EVO lever but i think you can get the idea...



this is an affordable bolt on kit, sound great and easy to install. as mentioned, the tail pipe normally goes all the way to the back. also, installing something like this should have no effect on your warranty.

If you want to retain the stock location have a look at the Borla exhaust. Sounds great and some power gain is felt when driving and if I can keep my foot out of it gas mileage actually improves a little. I went with the single exit axle back Borla. No need to back to the catalyct converters (catback) the factory pipe is very similar. Quiet at idle but reallyroars when the revs start climbing. Go to the Borla website and listen to the sound bites.

go to a local muffler shop, they can do what ever you want and it will be cheaper than buying the kits. Mine cost $250 and took about 2 hrs for them to do, that included relocation of the new flowmaster muffler and then piping the exhaust to the back.

about $100.00 in parts and 10 mins with a sawsall and a welder. with a 2 door you will need to relocate the evap canister.
