the model number is the title of the youtube page, checked mbrp.com - plus there's no exhaust visible when he drives by.
cat back version:

model numbers don't match, exhaust is clearly visible though...

looks like everything would fit, curious to see if anyone has done it.
i'll be looking to relocate my evap eventually, but will probably put an air tank in its place at that point so i'll still be using whatever skid i decide on. benchmark is offering a deal right now in another thread, may have to jump on that.

I just talked with the guys at their booth at the PA All Breeds Jeep show in York, PA yesterday. Took some pictures and listened to the black version that places the muffler next to the evap canister on the 2 door they had there. I was originally concerned with the heat of the system next to the canister, but they assured me that this wouldn't be a problem.

This is my next modification. Not sure whether I will add an air intake yet - I hear no many say not to spend the money over the stock airbox.

I wouldn't do it unless you were also planning on adding a Flashpaq. Before the flashpaq, I noticed a little increase in gas mileage, but not much of in increase in power at all. Over time, the gas mileage increase seemed to go away.

The stock computer isn't advanced enough to compensate properly for the increased airflow. However, I would highly recommend one if you already have, or are planning on adding, a quality programmer. [/hijack]
