Default Exhaust options.. relocating the muffler

The 2011 JK is too quiet for me.. with windows and top down, there is nearly zero feedback from the motor. Chrysler has successfully squelched all audible and visceral feedback... Advantage Soccer Mom...

More power would be great, but it's not the primary goal. Certainly don't want to lose any power. I need a little more rumble and feedback that can be heard and felt so I can feel shift points.

I am aware of the Magnaflow, Dynomax, Rusty's options.

While watching one of the Project-JK Vids I spotted a muffler relocate that put it under the front seats. Any idea what this is? Custom? It looked like an aluminized muffler with a turned-down tip. Wondering if it is annoyingly loud or if fumes find their way in the cabin when at idle..

i believe he WOL runs a rancho kit, there is also cool tech. two locations stock area and under the drivers side area. I personally took off the stock and cut the tube under the drivers side rear pass area and put in a thrush from advanced, i get the gergle when i let off. where the exhaust exits is really up to you, before the rear tire after the rear, out the back, you get the point

I put a flowmaster series 80 on my Jeep. It goes in the stock location, it is just way smaller and louder. It has a single inlet with a dual outlet. I have noticed zero power loss with the dual tips out the back. A local exhaust shop installed it for me for $400 bucks.

I'll look for both of those.. thanks.

Gurgle on lift is fine.. is it much louder considering it's location?
