Shouldn't I be able to find on that will do that? Does anyone know what is the right combination? Is the xj pipe 2.25 ID or OD and the muffler is it 2.5 ID or OD? Thanks in advance.

No other options were available. I'll be going to orileys after work.

I just installed a rusty's exhaust on my 98 XJ. I opted for the flowmaster 40 series muffler and after install I was shocked to find it is super quiet. At idle it has a nice gargle but it is quite tolerable. Cruising around I can't hear it at all. Anyone else have this experience?
