If not, can I buy a set and pick them up at the shop or your house? Thanks
We'd have to get 20+ for a group, to make it worth it. The welding is the issue. I have a powder coater here locally. He can do a matte black for $50. My welder got busy and isn't looking for small projects right now.

You're welcome to pick them up here. I've got the kits in stock. Just give me a shout when you want to stop in. 714-402-2242

Thanks Brett, I will be up in the next couple of weeks. After seeing how good yours looked and watching the you tube video on how strong they are, I am definitey sold on the quality.

I'm thinking of the possibilities here, don't tell the boss.

The performance is the same, as the length of the exhaust tubing does not change. The 14" system leaves four inches more on the stock piping...
I'd be interested in a kit with the 18" muffler that uses the off-road tip and dumps before the rear axle. Looks like it just needs 2 clamps, a muffler, and the tip. Oh, I guess it needs something to anchor to as well.

Do you have an idea of when you could have a kit available? You can use my jeep as a demo if you want.

I've got the design for one version of this kit finished. I'm going to have two versions. One requires the Evap Can to be relocated and will work on a two door. The other is a four door kit and you can leave the evap can in place. There will not be room for an 18" muffler on the evap relocation type. One added piece of info. is that these are much louder, inside the cab.

I have a 2-dr with your evap can relocation kit installed. I was thinking of a heat shield and/or some dynomat to help with the additional noise inside the cab. Just for clarification, it sounds like the 18" muffler will not work with the 2-dr.? I was hoping for the longer muffler to keep it quieter. It's nice to have normal conversation on the inside and I'm deaf enough already.

You are correct, that the 18" will not work with the 2-door.

The sound is coming from the exhaust being aimed at the ground, so I doubt that dynomat would make much of a difference. The difference between the 14" and 18" mufflers is almost in-discernible.

If you want a muffler that does not drone, then you'll need to run the tailpipe out the back. My muffler is the quietest aftermarket muffler that I've heard.

I, myself, would not run the shorty system. It's too loud for my taste. But some others want the sound and the price is unbeatable.

Just got some new woods products put on the JK this weekend.

1. Evap Can relocation--done--AWESOME product. That's where it should have been in factory location. Kit very complete. No problems with it. Wonderful kit.

2. Woods exhaust kit--done--great product, pretty easy to install, good directions. I love the location and having the giant factory one gone. Sounds wonderful. the nice part about the sound of this muffler is that it is very quiet at highway speeds. Not too ricer sounding at low speeds, just a good low pitched drone. I'll try to post pics and a video/sound clip tonight.

3. He sent me a hood saver kit that i'm going to try to install tonight when i install my steering stabilizer relocation bracket.

Great job Bret, wonderful stuff and service/shipping.
