Default Should I upgrade the exhaust ?

I have a 2010 JK unlimited sport and curious if and how many others have upgraded exhaust. I'm new to the jeep world but ran flowmaster super 44 series on my 06 ram. I def noticed decent change in my throttle response but not in gas mileage (think that's a myth). I love a little rumble and I'm wondering if anyone has done this, thanx!

I put on a thrush welded exhaust i got for $40 from autozone i put it under the driver side rear seat. I noticed a power gain and also i am getting 2 extra mpg's. i did also change the differential fluid at the same time so some of the mpg might be because of that. so i totally recommend doing a exhaust change.

I love my Magnaflow and it even sounds better with the Airaid CAI and Superchips tune.

I also want the added weight from the factory exhaust gone! I think the placement of the factory muffler looks horrible as well. I was thinking about magnaflow but not sure cause I've already ran flowmaster.

I'm wondering about this too. With parts from AutoZone (or similar), is this something I could do myself? I don't have a welder.
