I had the Borla, nice and mellow with a growl when you stepped on it. But it's one of the priciest options.

I bought the Gibson Dual Cat-back exhaust along with an Airaid CAI and a Poweraid Throttle Body Spacer, noticeable gain in low-end torque, and it sounds nice. The Gibson is loud on the highway, but it won't drive you crazy. I don't do much hardcore wheeling so I'm not too worried about having my exhaust pipes below my bumper. There are some videos on Youtube of all the different exhausts out there and what they sound like. Good luck!

One more thing do you have the exhaust that splits at muffler one pipe on each end right.

Just saying the Gibson Dual setup is LOUD AS HELL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I took mine off before it vibrated my jeep apart. Only ran it about 1000 miles.

I have the MBRP system. Sounds great at idle and even better at WOT. At 70mph it is not bad at all. My setup is a little different because I have Ripp long tubes too but i really like the MBRP sound.
