ok so i was bored today and decided id try to remove my muffler, it took about an hour to get one of the rubber holdings off, anyone got any advice on how t get it off easier? i got a 2 door if that makes a difference. (and yes i know its gonna be a bit illegal but in GA most cops dont care, i got a friend with a 3500 cummings desiel and hes got no pipes from cat on and hes done fine)

 

Take it through the Rubicon and scrape it real bad on a big boulder

 

haha yea thatd be nice but i sorta just wanna run this till i get caught by my dad, so putting it back on is a must..

 

It was worth the suggestion ~~~> For chuckle purposes at least.

Mine actually bit the dust that way- well not to the extreme I said, but it needed replacing after the fact

 

You absolutely can't compare exhaust sound or performance on a turbocharged diesel engine to the squirrel powered 3.8L. Expect to sound like another pissed off rice rocket. In my opinion...

 

IMO it will sound like hell and you performance will suffer, but that is just my 2 cents. It's your Jeep.

That being said, the passenger side hanger is a beyotch to get off, i finally cut the metal band on mine with a diegrinder/fiber cutoff wheel and hacked it off in pieces when i junked my stock muffler.

 

i used a dremel and ground down the little bump things on the hangers welded on the muffler it sounds good btw until you rev up then it is god damn loud and doesnt sound to good

 

Spent oil or wheel bearing grease + Large Flat head screwdriver. Coat the screwdriver in a little grease, push it through the rubber hanger, and leverage the flat head against the metal hanger, pushing the rubber away from you. Slides right off.

Spraying some lithium grease on the metal hanger and wiggling the rubber off also works.

I don't think my muffler delete sounds that bad > http://s391.photobucket.com/albums/o...91014-1442.flv

 

maybe it was just because i was in my quiet on post neighbor hood i didnt get a chance to drive with it because it was so loud my mom came out a flipped on me and told me to put the damn muffler back on or give her the keys

 

Yes it's definitely loud...
