My gibson dual is a little to loud with an annoying drone on the highway, im thinking of adding a straight thru muffler ahead of the rear axle to tone it down a bit, everyone says it sound good, around town I love the sound but if im on the highway for any lenth of time its just to loud.

I don't mind the loudness all that much. My dodge was a true dual so it was always loud. The only time it bothered me was when in moved from TX to VA and towing 4,000 lbs.

Thanks! I'm going through the magnaflow vs flowmaster thing right now. Want to get the deeper tone but avoid the drone.

Even with the super 44's I experienced very little cab noise on the highway. It all depends on where you run them as well. Straight back is how I had mine but a few of my friends ran them to the sides and that had alot of cab noise.

Mine is configured just like the stock setup with the tip running out at the back passenger side. I kind of wish I would have had in point down and tunked it up a little higher. I will have to put so pics on here tomorrow.

I would def like to see it! The only thing I don't like about the stick placement is seeing the entire muffler! I'm gonna have to try and fit it farther back but I'm not sure their is any room for it. Speaking of pics, still trying to figure our how to upload a profile pic!

The only jeep I've seen in my area running after market is a commander and that doesn't count! First it's got a hemi and second it's a commander lol. I rented one for a week a few years ago but was not real impressed when I took it through a construction site lol!

In response to the OP's question, I would get a Superchips and a Sprintbooster and forget the Exhaust and Cold Air Intake

The only problem with a superchip is my dealers warranty. From everything I've read and people I've talk to it leaves a footprint. Not sure if the sprint boost would do the same?
