Question Mufflers

Who has what and how do you like it?
Im ready to upgrade from stock and reposition it in front of the rear axel.

Any other ideas for upgrades to be done at that time?

i'm interested in this as well. I'm still trying to figure out why the stock muffler is the size of a water heater.

I have flowmaster 50 series Delta flow, in stock location. Sounds great, and no drone on highway driving. I'll try to take some pic later on

Im kinda new to the world of jeeps and rigs and well everything. Slowly learning.

What does a muffler do for you? I know it makes a nice pretty hum. My husband had a flowmaster on his old diesel F350.

Why would one say they are pointless? my husband said they were for jeeps. Just curious.

You have a speedshop! Well I should have just gone to you when I changed my exhaust!I live in Draper! I changed to the cool tech and it's not bad. I love that I moved it up between the frame rails and out from the back where it would have been damaged just like my YJ's. We will have to go wheelin!!

So BIM6180, the 50's series a bit quieter than the 40's series right? Did you get the "delta flow" version. I'm still kinda curious about the different flowmasters. I know i ran a si/so flowmaster 40 on my f-150 dumped under the bed and it droned pretty bad, but sounded awesome. I'm ok with a bit of drone (like when downshifting to slowdown) but would prefer no drone at 65mph.
