Default Flowmaster on 2012 JK

I'd really like to pull the trigger on an exhaust on my new JK, just nervous about how it will sound with the new engine. I know a lot of people on here talk up MBRP, but anyone hear this thing roar?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNS4-XjXrOw

I personally think that sounds amazing for a V6, but i'm just wondering if there was anything done to the rest of it (CAI, resonator removal ect..) Anyone have experience with flowmaster 80 series?

I have a 2012 with the muffler taken off and a little tip on it and it sounds good. I'm leaving it as is.

I had a Flowmaster 40 series welded on in place of stock. It makes some noise but is not as loud as I would want. I would not undo it but definitely not as impressive as I have seen others say about it.

The 80 series doesnt sound to bad...the 40 series on the new jeeps sounds like crap IMHO. Im still leaning toward the Magnaflow but i do want to hear the MBRP systems on our new engines.

So far that's my favorite exhaust sound clip. Most of them are poor quality and it's hard to really tell what they sound like, but that sounds great! What's the part# as there are many 80 series applications?

Default Screw the Flowmaster!

I took off the stock muffler, kept the resonator on, and took it for a spin.....well . I think it sounds pretty damn good!!!!!! Adding a piece of pipe out the back and that will be all. Wasn't expecting such a good tone from it, especially at high rpms, doesn't sound ricey to me. Pleasantly surprised. Will post a video link in a few minutes.
