You have the 4.0 right and alright sweet I just want something that sounds cool (sexy) as I save up for a full exhaust. Maybe if I really like it I'll just do a strait pipe all the way but wider diameter!

Yep. 4.0, pacesetter header, 2.5" straight pipe with a performance curve cat, and a 4" tip. Awesome!!!

It depends on your definition of "crap". Lots of people like the sound of a magnaflow on a cherokee but I don't. It's all about what you like.

As far as I know none of the tailpipe mounting points never changed from 86-92, or newer XJs. The only issue you might run into is how the muffler mates up to the cat. But since it is 2.25'' tubing just like stock I don't foresee any issues. Don't blame me if it doesn't work though

What do you guys know about AP Exhaust products? Any good?

How do they compare to Walker Exhaust products?

I called Dynomax, they said no-go. But, someone on here said it fit on his. Maybe he will chime in.
