Just wondering how the noise levels are in a 2 door? Dont like the droneing sound you get from aftermarket exhaust.

 

I tried doing an exhaust repair once without welding and it just doesn't work right. No matter how tight u try to make that U clamp, it will always have a leak!

 

We're loving our SS MBRP cat back. My son never tires of the sound. He has his learners and I let him solo around the neighborhood while I listened. His comment, "That's how a Jeep is supposed to sound". I don't feel it drones, just a deep burble in the background. Deepens as it breaks in for the first 1,000 miles or so.

Added a K&N drop in air filter as well. Butt dyno says a little more quickness is there, butt dyno's are known to lie though. It does appear the combination of the two added enough mpg to compensate for what running the AC subtracts. Just my two centavos.

No leaks on the MBRP with the supplied SS bands at the joints after the first good highway run. We did it ourselves in an easy hour

 

Did u install without welding ? I'm no mechanic but can handle a wrench and would love to do my own exhaust without paying labor!

 

I just put on a magnaflow this weekend. Just pulled off the stock on and put a magnaflow (11226) in the stock location. The sound is great, juts a little loader than stock with a deaper tone. I have been told that it will get deaper after it is burned in a little. I can feel a little better performance. It responds at the low end a little better and accelerates a little faster. I am going to add a CAI in about two weeks. I am not still not sure which one I am going to go with. But al far as the exhaust, I am glad I did it. Just be realistic about what you think you are going to get. It will not turn it into a V-8.

 

Mbrp sends all the necessary clamps and hardware to put on the exhaust. There is no welding required

 

We did. Went real smooth. The night before the install I took a can of WD-40 and sprayed where the factory exhaust hanger rods entered the rubber isolators. Just moved the rubber isolator around sprayed a little more WD-40. Let them sit over night, just wanted to get them slicked up. Next morning I used a pair of channel-locks, one jaw placed behind the rubber isolator and the other jaw placed on the end of hanger, squeezed the handles together and the isolator popped off the hanger. After that it just ratchet work off with the old and on with the new. Don't tighten any of the new system until you are satisfied with clearance of brake lines and overall alignment. Then ratchet away. As I recall the instructions suggest removing the transmission or transfer case skid plate for working clearance but that was just simple ratchet work off and on. It was my first automotive install besides changing the oil. You can do it. Ours is a year old now with no problems. Still loving it. Lots of threads on the MBRP. Thought I might need to buy a set of hanger pliers but WD-40 and the channel-locks worked fine.

 

Not turning into a V-8 I get lol. Going from 360HP to 205. I just want a little sound to my JK and a bit more throttle response. Not real familiar with magnaflow, what series is good ?

 

Any drone at highway speeds?

 

No welding sounds good to me and more money for mods! Wish I would have known that as I were stuffed under the beretta I was repairing lol. Got to love this forum!
