My '13 Grandokee V6 sounds LOTS better now.
Took it to my favorite exhaust-system shop, Mighty Muf'ler in Phoenix, to see what I might do to add a little character to the sound. From the outside, it's a very quiet car. From the inside, it's so quiet I can hardly tell the engine is running.
The owner thought that replacing the center muffler would be complicated (= expensive); he suggested we start by removing the rear muffler. (He thought it was so large, it wasn't just an antiresonator.)
Off it came, and I test-drove it. Sounded great as near as I could tell, so on went a replacement pipe and the same oval tip I've bought many of over the years.
It now sounds GREAT--the exhaust noise inside the car is just loud enough to be heard, and outside, too, it sounds wonderful.
$94! I'm VERY happy.
Oh yes--it does NOT drone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Haha he's not being rude he just wants to check out your jeep man. He likes what you said and is eager to hear it."
"We want to hear it, thats all."
I understand that you folks would like to hear it, and I'd like to have something to post that effects that. But there's a difference between asking and demanding.

Old fart with a wrench
You know, Jeff. I was expounding about my new snow tires being so good, I was plowing thru snow up to the headlights, and this guy comes back and says "Pics or it didn't happen." I told him to get a life!
