Took the muffler and exhaust pipe off all the way back to the Y pipe and installed thrush glass pack with a turn down at the end. It dumps right in front of rear axle. Might add some heat shield to the evap can. $35

Did the same thing just used a dynomax muffler. Sounds good can't see it and now leaves room if you want to do the storage cubby mod in the trunk

Its just for looks and super easy to do. I drilled mine a while back bc I was bored and I have had many people ask me how or where to buy them. Just makes for a more rugged look I guess...

I like it. Haven't seen that one. My Jeep is black though so wouldn't be much of a contrast.
