Default MBRP exhaust T 409 muffler relocation

I was needing to know from the ones that got this exhaust system, if you had to relocate your evap canister? By the way not sure if it makes a diff, but i have the unlimited with auto!! Thanks in advance for any help

Any trouble you ran into, if it will work with the evap in stock postion with evap skid? any and all info, that one might need to know would be very helpfull

In my 2 door, the resonator ended up right next to the evap, maybe 2"-3" space in between. I don't think its as much of an issue with the unlimited.

BTW, my solution to the problem was to use the heat shield material from where the stock muffler was and shape it and rivet it to a rock hard evap skid. Protection from the heat and out of danger.

I have about 2 to 2.5" between the evap can and the exhaust pipe. I have not relocated my evap can, although I have had a relocation kit in the garage for over a year now.

I have it also. I used Woods relocation kit with it. I'm very very happy with both products.

The 4 door JKs should not have any heat issues at all...Our system runs a pipe past the evap just like the factory exhaust, but we use a slightly heavier gauge steel. The 2 doors have more risk because it is the muffler sitting next to the canister, and it is much closer.

Hope this helps.
