I really wanted to go with that kit (I think they call it the offroad kit), but it won't pass emissions here.

To those of you who have installed a cat back kit, did you get any noticeable gain in gas mileage? In past vehicles I have had and put cat back kits on them, they have picked up at least 3 miles to the gallon. They have all been V8 trucks though, so I am curious what kind of gain a Jeep with a V6 will gain if any.

If there is a gain in mpg I haven't noticed it so it is not significant.

I installed mine the same time I did my 35s and 5.13s, so no data from me on a MPG improvement or decline because of the exhaust alone.

Does that $600 include the gears, install kits and supplies? For both diffs? If so, jump on it!

The total for mine was about $1300 and that included the Yukon gears, partial bearing kits (didn't need the full install kits as my rig only had 450mi on it when the gears were swapped), the ARB diff covers and all labor and shop supplies. Had it done at a local Jeep shop. I thought that was a pretty darn good deal, but if you've found a place to do it for $600 total, get it done!

I bet I come out a lot cheaper than the cat back systems and I will have the rock clearance I am looking for. (I do not like the idea of the muffler being in the stock location-if you only saw the damage to my stock muffler from rock krawling). Hope this helps!
I am not too sure on cost from a shop but our "rockcrawler" system

Does the rockcrawler system require anything be relocated on the 2 door JK or is it a simple bolt on?

Default Magnaflow offroad series

I did the magnaflow offroad exhaust and love it its tucked up behind the frame rail and out of the way. It sounds amazing very very deep, I have no complaints check it out. Stainless and everything. Fitment is great
