I am very happy with the SS stock replacement. Quiet during highway driving and throaty on local roads. Overall a great replacement. Just have not seen or can not really comment on any performace/fuel gains.

Just do what YOU want. It's your Jeep. Either exhaust will be nice, but in the end, if you put on it what others say they would, it might not be what you want.

I'm super happy with the SS stock location exhaust system, the growl is real nice not too loud on the highway and there is no drone. I did notice a little bit of a power increase on the low end which was a bonus, you can't go wrong with any of MBRP's setups, they all sound and perform the same

Yep, I'd relocate mine again. I bought the Cool Tech one, however, what I'd do if I had it to do all over again, would be to go to a local quality muffler shop and just have them pull the Stainless Flowmaster muffler out of stock/order it, and install it. While yes, I enjoyed doing it - always fun taking a sawzall to something! - I paid $300+ and did it myself; my buddy paid around $100 for nearly the same identical thing (less the heat shield which turned out didn't impact him at all due to the SS Flowmaster he got) and had someone get dirty and turn the wrenches.

I can't recall the exact muffler part number they used, we both pulled up to the shop, the guy came out and looked at my Cool Tech supplied muffler and said, oh yeah, no problem.

MBRP Cat Back off-road on my 2 DR Rubicon.
You also have to use the evap cann. relocate kit.

Couldn't be happier. Quiet on highways in 6th. Throaty in low gears.

I've had it for 2 months now.

Couldn't be happier. I intend to do it again on my 4DR Rubicon.
