Default weed wacker exhaust help!!

so today i got rid of my stock muffler and told my local muffler shop that i'd rather have it stock then sound like a weed eater going down the road..and i was told to put a "turbo tube exhaust" on it because it was small so i would be good for offroad clearance and it would sound good...so i trusted the guy and did it, and now it sounds like a pissed off weedeater..he said that if i cut my cats off it would sound a lot better....but i waited, to see if anyone had any input on my problem...so any help would be great?

Idk if its the turbo tube that makes it sound like that or if all mufflers will sound like that on my jeep unless the cats are cut?

If you want your engine to run right don't cut your cats off.

DO not cut your cats off.

1. Cannot sell the Jeep
2. Will run like crap
3. If/When your state/cith enforces emission laws you will have to install them.(Bring large limit Credit Card)

Definitely do not cut your cats out. I run the Flowmaster Hushpower and it sounds great and is very small. I have it relocated next to the evap skid.
