I know this sounds strange, but i would like to give my jeep an agresive sound, but i also don't want to buy something i never heard. There is the borla, magnaflow, flowmaster, banks and etc. Anybody got an idea how i could hear them first? or whats the most aggresive one of them? I like the ones where even when am on idle the jeep gives out a sound and when i accelerate it has a close to v8 engine sound. Very loud and aggresive.

 

I had Magnaflow dual exhaust on my 2003 Mustang Mach 1. It was "perfect" - sounded mean and growly, yet didn't annoy the neighbors too much if you kept it under 2k rpm in the neighborhood. I know a guy with Borla exhaust on his Mach 1, and it was MUCH louder and aggressive - too much so. It did have a perfect tone, though.

That said, I'm looking at Magnaflows for the jeep as well. They are well made, and usually a perfect "bolt right up" fit.

I haven't found any decent sound bytes for magnaflows on a jeep. You CAN go to magnaflows website and take a listen to other cars, though.

 

I tried that and the only one with 2008 wrangler is gibson and its not very convincing, its too short and not clear. I had the magnaflow on my trailblazer and sounded too race car like, i want the growly truck sound.

 

I had a borla on my v6 explorer. Had a nice tone to it. It'll be tough to make a V6 sound like a V8 though.


Go search you tube, you'll find some JK's with exhaust clips.


Or, if it's V8 you want... go do the hemi swap... it's only a few grand more than an exhaust

 

hehe no i would like to stay with the v6 hehe. Iam searching everwhere and most of what am getting are tj's. The jk's will sound different.

 

just type: jk, exhaust


I came up with 6 hits with different exhausts. Also try google video search, you'll probably get even more.

 

oh yeah, thanks i hope i can find something nice.

 

I'm satisfied with my Flowmaster.

 

I have tested 5 mufflers in the last week. I've got video and sound for four of them. I'll post up video links as soon as I can.

I tested:
- Magnaflow 14377 14" X 4" X 9" Same side offset
- Magnaflow 10436 22" X 4" round Center in/out
- Magnaflow 11226 14" X 4" X 9" Center in/out and offset in/out
- Borla 40653 13.125" X 4" X 9.5" Center in/out and offset in/out
- Flowmaster 50 series 942554 17" X " X 9.75" Oval Same Side Offset

The following are my observations.

Both Magnaflow ovals, and the Borla sounded the same. I do not recall any difference at all. They all represent the most mellow deepest sound that I have heard on a JK.

The Flowmaster and Magnaflow round 4" both sounded very similar. Louder and and more ricey/tinnie/sharp sounding.

The Flowmaster is a very large muffler. The goal here was to see if a larger size created a deeper tone. Just the opposite turned out to be true... This muffler may be a good fit, if you wanted a louder muffler, and did not worry about clearance, or wanted to install in the stock location.

The Magnaflow and Borla with the Offset In, and Center Out would not fit in the location that I wanted to install the muffler. Both would be a good solution if you wanted to install the muffler in front of the Evap Can, on a 4 door.

Hands down the best muffler for the location where I wanted to install (just behind where the Evap Can was previously located) was the Magnaflow 14377. It has the best clearance, is well protected by the rear lower control arms and has as good a tone as any muffler that I've heard.

 

I have the CoolTech exhaust system (with MagnaFlow) and really like it.
