Gettin a completely new exhaust. Magnaflow or flowmaster?

 

[clean4drxj]

flowmaster 50 series

 

[whitexj98]

Flowmaster 40 + magnaflow free flow cat + exahust shop for the tail pipe.

 

[zachndorsett]

why those?

 

[whitexj98]

It's what I run and it sounds pretty good imo. It was pretty cheap to.

My flomaster was free but around $60
Magnaflow, $90
Tail pipe at local shop, $50
Not bad for downpipe back for $200, but I also needed a new cat.

Are you looking at just getting a muffler or what?

Search the junkyard upgrade thread - you'll be happy

Im gettin a whole new exhaust. I have to replace my cat so i figured while im at it ill uograde and redo the whole thing. Now the have magnaflow cat, pipes, muffler tip, and labor at a shop where i live for $330. Whole package. And idk about flowmasters there though. But the pipes and everything is made out of aluminite. Is that any good? Or should i pay the extra for stainless steel

 

[zachndorsett]

Got centercaps on, need to clean sidewalls

 

[zachndorsett]

Took off plastic fender flares and the rubber underneath tire well. Cleaned it up, not too bad

 

[zachndorsett]

Had a bit of rubbing underneath for some odd reason, got that taken care of. Now i need to bolt in a sheet of steel to cover this gap behind the bumper

 

[clean4drxj]

I say flowmaster 50 because the 40 is to loud, last thing I'd wanna do is draw nwgative attention to myself.

 

[Outlander560]

negative attention? I'm running the 40 series flowmaster cat back kit from rustys...sounds great low tone at idle grunts when you get on it...only 170 bucks comes with 2 1/2 or 3 inch tail pipe can't remember it's been on for a while

 

[zachndorsett]

I'm getting a magna flow all aluminite. With 4 or 5 inch pipe

 

[whitexj98]

I'm getting a magna flow all aluminite. With 4 or 5 inch pipe

I woudn't go any smaller then 6 inches......

 

[zachndorsett]

Why 6inches? I was told my another jeepforum guy to go 4 or 5 whichever one they make.

 

[whitexj98]

I was joking, you won't gain anything with a 4 or 5 inch pipe and it will look really dumb imo... I woud just do the stock size.

 

[zachndorsett]

Gettin a 2-1/4" pipe with a 4 inch round muffler. Magnaflow cat

 

[solomon7]

Looking good so far, but I have to ask, how is this Modified Tech?
So far it's paint, wheels, and centercaps. You gonna coilover it or 4 link the rear? Chuggy? Prerunner?

 

[zachndorsett]

What? My next step is converting it to 4wd. About a month im getting a new front axle, dana 44, geared low to 4.56
