Default Exhaust questions... need advice

I did some marketing work for a custom exhaust and fabrication shop and i traded out a out 1200 worth of work done by their shop.

What should I look at? As of right now its stock. 3.8 2010 Wrangler sport. I do medium offroading once a month, but hot trails and some mud flats about 3 or 4 times per month.

Any input or advice would be appreciated.

is that your actual budget all inclusive or do you want to just use that credit for labor costs? id get the teraflex coil lift installed, have them put together a cool cat back exhaust if you're into that, have them mount some tires, gear swap if you want it for larger tires, since they should be good at welding, have them do some gussets... just some stuff to think about.

Default exhaust ?

Brother, I bought a Walker and piped it in for less than $150.00. After all, it is a 3.8 It will never do much. Save your cash for a hemi.

$1,200 is a lot for a exhaust.

Can they order you some parts? You can get a lift and have them install it or regear or tires, etc.

This is my flo pro $200 exhaust a local shop did.

$1200 is steep for an exhaust mod

Buy your own parts and have it welded on.

Did mine at a local shop for $70
Removed muffler and resonator for a flowmaster 10 series

Yeah, I can get some other stuff done too... I just didn't know what to get. I have a 2 in puck lift now, wheels and tires, and he is a transmission / exhaust shop. Maybe I ll ask him about a gear swap or lockers. I have 3.21 now so i could stand to go up to 4.1

What size tires you running? Either way, with 3.21's the gears would be #1 on my list.

He means that he did some work for an exhaust shop and in turn they gave him $1200 in work for his troubles not that his exhaust cost him $1200.
