I currently have my muffler pulled right now. It sounds awesome at idle and very low rpms but I feel it gets ricier the higher the rpms get. I love the clearance though. Don't think the highway ride would be all that great. Too much resonation in the cabin. I have a 2dr by the way.

I recommend the Flowmaster Super 44 - its throaty, inexpensive, and most importantly - TINY. It tucks up real nice in the stock location (or relocated location). It's also painted black from the factory so it looks nicer. I paid $120 out the door for it. The paint burned off after a year, but nothing a little BBQ paint and 30 seconds couldn't fix. Still sounds great.

I have the Gibson Stainless Cat Back and it's Kind of Ricey/Buzzy.

I got it for 120 at Quadratec's scratch and dent open house last year. The tip is also kind of Ricey Big but, Mother Nature took care of it and bashed it into a good smaller shape.

The nice thing about it is, way, way more clearance than the stock Muffler and it did help with hills in 6th a little bit.

Listen, at the end of the day you are down 2 Cylinders so no matter what its gonna be a little Ricey/Buzzy at certain RPM ranges. No matter what you do, it's not gonna sound like a V-8 (unless you do a Hemi Conversion )

I've thought about cutting off the muff and welding on one of my extra Harley pipes. I figure if they can sound deep and throaty on two cylinders, six would work too.

Here's my Magnaflow. I had a buddy that owns a muffler shop fix me up a custom cat back with the muffler relocated along side the evap canister.

Did you end up getting your hands on one of our systems? I assume you meant "the sound(of MBRP), is in my opinion, perfect."

MBRP. Excellent customer service and a great product. I love the sound and the response I have now from my JK. Problem now is that I like to pin the skinny pedal to the floor more.

Come September (when I get my next paycheck) I'm picking up your "off road" cat back exhaust for the 2 door. Not only a beautiful throaty-roar that I love, but the extra clearance is a must for my rock crawling
