If you want to spend all that money on a FM40, PC also has a muffler and tailpipe kit for around $150 shipped. Or, you could get a Thrush welded for $25-40 and have a tailpipe made at a shop and it would be made to clear any suspension mods you might have.

Exhaust Dumps
Hey guys,
I'm sure this has already come up but I couldnt find it anywhere. I am building a double triangulated 4 link for the rear of my cherokee. its a 96 jeep cherokee sport. It has the 4L H.0. AW4. NP 242 T-case. No matter where I find to run my exhaust through the 4 link to the rear it seems to hit. I was thinking of just cutting it at my 4 link crossmember which is about 8 inches behind my t-case. Im wondering what complication this will bring up. I know the exhasut gasses will rust the body faster and I will mitigate that as best I can but im not worried about it. I also realize that water will have an easier time entering exhaust. do you think either of these is a no go situation? or have any other ideas of what would or could go wrong? or a possible solution to run it?
Thanks,
Nick

I will try and get some pics tonight. but what I was thinking, is to just have it so the muffler ends at the t-case. not out of either side but just right there under the xj back seat area.
Thanks,

What are you guys doing for heatshields? My XJ didn't come with a factory one and I'll definitely need something since I'm carpetless and it gets pretty hot.

For a 3" exhaust system I know I'll lose low end torque but how much? Are we talking a lot or a little. I feel like if it's just a little it would be worth the awesome sound
