I'm gonna do it soon myself, my biggest thing is the sound... Is it gonna be too loud and how clean is it gonna sound!!! Really enjoying the quiet sound but really would like to do a few performance mods like intake and exhaust!! Already have the AEV mod... If anyone else has any other suggestions I would be up for them also!!!

Default I have it

Just had it installed. It looks great. Sounds pretty good. Sounds best under hard acceleration , under light acceleration ,it sounds a bit ricey. Overall , I'm pretty happy. Sorry , don't know how to post sounds and I am real busy moving now. Hope it helps

Thanks. I'm going to order through qtec so I have 30 days to return it if it isn't what I expected. I heard you can kill the ricey sound of you replace the resonater with a test pipe.

I put a Gibson split rear dual on a 2010 JKU auto. Nice deep throaty sound at idle, but an unbearable drown at mid range. The drone is so bad, Gibson mfr'd a special resonator to calm it some. Didn't bother with resonator. Bought a new 2012 JKU instead. That solved the power issue.
