I have their cutback for a 2011 rubi unlimited. No problems after a thousand miles. It fits right and tight with no noise. I drive everyday with no doors and bikini top. I love the sound! You can see the tailpipe end in the pic. Buy it!

It is a direct bolt - in application but it takes time making sure nothing is touching anything, the pieces are tight and everything is exactly where it needs to be. It uses all the stock mounts so don't damage them when you take the old system out. And that was the only pain in the butt, removing the old system. A blow torch will save you time. Total install was 3 hours. But I went slow. As for the sound? I love it. It's deep and throaty at low rpm's but it does get a higher pitch at higher rpm's. On the highway at 70mph I can't really hear it at all. but I never have the top or doors on so all I hear is wind! Strange thing is my buddy has the same Magnaflow system on his rubi and it sounds a bit different. Not sure why. It could be because he's running a Banks CAI and I am running a Volant. Overall, I am happy with it!

Was wondering what it sounded like. Use to have their system on a Dodge Ram I had and loved it. Wasn't sure about on a JK though.

I have a Magnaflow cat-back system. I love it thus far. The sound is great and has helped my with MPGs. Easy to install, but like stated earlier it is a pain to get the old system off. My screwdriver was my best friend in that process.
