Quiet exchaust options?
I know this is counterintuitive because most people are looking for sound. I had a dynomax dual exhaust on my last JK. I want to increase the flow and help out with some of the pedal lag on my 2015, but have no interest in a loud exhaust anymore. Just seeing if there are any quiet performance exhaust options out there
A muffler change won't do much for performance, though when i removed mine, i could've swore she felt more peppier, I went with a Magnaflow muffler, and had my local muffler shop do the welding job, that setup was fairly quiet, barely louder than stock, so mellow that i had the factory resonator deleted as i was actually looking for a tad more noise, and while it makes more noise than stock, it's not obnoxiously loud the way it is, even with the res deleted.
I agree 100%. I had to remove my stock muffler due to the coilovers. I drove around w/o it for a couple of weeks - horrible raspy sound. Kept the resonator and most of the stock pipe and added a universal MagnaFlow 22" free flow muffler. Now it's perfect.

I did not endorse that Banks Power ad that popped up in my post--I have no opinion about it because I have no experience with it. I understand JK-Forum needs to make money from advertising, but don't make it look like it's me promoting the product, please. A line demarking the ad from my own post would suffice. I have deleted my own comments, which offered what I considered good advice and info for OP.

But the key point for the OP was wanting a livable volume with improved flow. Our universal mufflers are all straight-through with a perforated core, which means improved exhaust velocity and more power. Power gains from an entire cat-back exhaust top out around 10 percent (and that's typically high-power applications) so a muffler probably won't add gobs of power, but sometimes an extra pony or two in the powerband can make just-enough difference.

That should not be happening if you are logged in. If it happens again, please take a screen shot of the ad, I'll get it removed. Thanks!
