What do you guys think?
I saw that bumper, but it is no better than the stock one we have.

Yea, it sounds real good. A nice growl and no whistling plus I don't hear it unless I punch the gas. I probably won't be able to tell if the mileage increases for a couple tanks. Mainly because I can't keep my foot out of the gas now.
As for performance, when I went up the mountain south of the river on 231, normally, I would be dropping in and out of passing gear all the way up. Yesterday when I went up it, I held it at 60 mph and never dropped down to passing gear. So even if the mpg doesn't increase like I hope, the little extra power was worth it.

Denny2526 Do you have different exhaust? Is there any place in Lacy Springs where we could ride? I would like to test my JK out also.

First one to get stuck buys the first round at the club meeting.
