Default Quiet aftermarket exhaust?

I'd like to do AM exhaust. Not a huge fan of the louder ones anymore though. Looking for more of a sleeper. Any suggestions?

i've run the dynomax exhaust (not the rock crawler) and it's pretty quite. i've been wanting to test out the new dynomax vt as it has a valve and is supposed to do a good job of keeping things quite too.

I'm in the same boat. Looking for a high clearance exhaust that isn't too loud but has a good sound. Curious about the new dynomax vt

I'm running Ripp Headers, MBRP Cat-Back, with the Hush Power Resonator. I have asked my neighbor if I wake him up at 4:45AM when I start the JK and he says he does not hear me. The only time it gets a little loud is at WOT. I expected it to be much louder but it has a nice smooth tone.

I installed both at the same time so the difference was very noticeable. I would have to compare it to going from a stock JK and adding a 91 tune with Superchips programmer. When the exhaust was installed I did not have a tune on her but could really feel a difference. I really notice a difference in maintaining speed up hills and obviously on acceleration.

Do you notice a difference with the Hush Power Resonator? I put a MBRP and I like the start up sound and low speed, but when I get the jeep going to highway speed, It is a bit loud and too much like a car with an exhaust rather than a jeep.

I really can't hear it much at highway speeds. I think I hear more noise from the tires. The resonator really tones it down but it still has a great sound at WOT and idle. It is definitely nothing like my 68 Firebird.

Right on, thanks for getting back to me. I will definitely try it out. I was contemplating on putting back the stock exhaust, but will try this first.
