I know why it's doing it, the loop that goes over the axle is banging into the unibody because the pipe is too long and misaligned, i have to cut about an inch off the muffler end but my sawzall took a ****. For now i just beat it with a big ****ing hammer.

Why not cut it off and make a dump or side exit?

... Actually a side exit's a good idea, I'll go see if it'll work with the pipe i already have.

Nah won't work, the pipe would have to be a dead turn right off the muffler. I don't wanna end up getting some half collapsed POS pipe and loose power due to it. All i gotta do to make the tailpipe work is take that little extension off and chop an inch or two off it.

Why don't you see more XJ's with just a turn down after the muffler? That's my plan when I get around to the exhaust (with a flowmaster). I've terminated with a turn down on a lot of my vehicles under the cab and never had a problem with fumes. As for the noise? Thats what I was going for...

mine was much too loud with a FM Super 40 and a turndown. Resonance gave me a headache after 5-10 minutes of driving.

Like dukie said. The noice of the exhaust is not the issue. That sounds beautiful. The drone when my tc locks up is TERRIBLE

X2. It's bad when the Tc locks up anywhere from 35-50 when doorless. Doors on, not that bad

This is why i bothered with a tailpipe, i was tired of the cab drone with the doors ON. Anyways, Installed a new CB! Looking for a PA speaker now.
