The Superchips helped but it didn't completely eliminate the loss. Although I really shouldn't respond since my Jeep has been running sickly for the last 5k miles and of course the dealerships can't replicate it. . .

See I did not loose anything on my low end. I also changed the intake and added the Unichip at the same time.

Its true that exhaust is cool, but it does kill the back pressure in the exhaust system, so you will lose some low end power. I recommend getting a Magnaflow or Borla system and IMO you will be much happier with the performance.

I agree, it is too bad that a dual system couldn't be more performance tuned for the JK since I do like the looks of them much better.

Very sad to hear all of this - I thought the Borla looks and sounds awesome...

I feel that the Gibson dual exhaust is Just a muffler not a cat back for a JK. I was thinking about going with Gibson but leaning towards, MBRP

Wow that's not what Brian told me when I purchased the Gibson exhaust from 4WD! But he also told me that the Unichip was the BEST chip on the market hands down and no one could compete with them performance \ reliability wise.

I don't have the same feelings about the Unichip anymore...But I still love the XDI and the Gibson.

What's wrong with the Unichip you purchased? Did you buy that from me?
