I have an 88 MJ, 4.0, auto. My current setup is stock pipe from the manifold to the cat, stock cat, 2.5'' pipe and a flowmaster 40 series. This isn't throaty enough for me. I think having so much pipe after the muffler is making it alot quieter. I do like the fact that it kinda "burbles" (dunno how else to describe it) at idle, and it gets kinda throaty on acceleration. What I don't like is that most of what you hear, is engine noise.
What are my options? I looked at borla stuff, no way in hell am i paying 205 bucks for a muffler. Flowmasters and magnaflows are cheaper. I know the 40 series delta flow is supposed to be pretty loud, but they're pretty expencive too.
I've been thinking straight pipe lately. just cut my muffler out, weld in a piece of 2.5'' that i have in the garage. I straight piped my last XJ, and didn't like it. It sounded like a tractor, albeit that it was a 2.5L 4 banger. I have a 1971 ford f100 that i ran straight headers on, and that was just too loud. I'm kinda iffy about straight piping my MJ.
Well, seeing as how I've written a book, I guess I need some opinions. I want it loud. I want it to be noticeable, so you can hear me a block away or so. But I don't want it to be so loud that I never want to romp on it cause it gives me a headache. I don't want alot of resonation, either. What do ya'll think?
