Default Dynomax axle back dual exhaust in NOT GOOD!

I just put on my Dynomax, axle back muffler, with dual exits, PN 39510, and I am not happy...Buyer beware! My JK is bone stock and with the top off, as it always is, the resonance at 40 to 50 MPH is gouge your ears out bad. In my overall opinion it sounds like crap... The tips also hang about 3 to 4 inches below the bumper, which looks horrible and on mine the right side tip is about a 1/2" lower than the left side. The only good things I can say is that it was about a 15 minute install and Dynomax has a satisfaction guarantee. Sorry Dynomax, but I would not recommend this exhaust to anybody...

Hmm. That's interesting. I have always heard good things. But we have the forum to hear all opinions and experiences.

if you have any passion for it still and you have a local meineke or muffler shop then have them weld in a vibrant ultra quiet resonator in place of the stock one. then have them chop the passenger side exhaust hanger and shorten it a half inch. i had my guys do it to my gibson and now I'm in love.

That is the cool thing about our system the Sound part of the guarantee, you have 90 days to try out most of our mufflers ans systems. You are about the 3rd or 4th out of the 100 or so (that I have tracked/heard about) that aren't happy with it.
The tip is lower on purpose so that condensation can escape, since this is a welded system (and not spun) you want the moisture to get out.

For a quieter sound look to a VT muffler or a system using the VT muffler.

Cool to see the vendor chime in, but sorry it isn't working! Nothing like spending a stack of cash on something and having to return it when it doesn't meet expectations!
