2,25 is stock on my 2000. It was factory. I have 0 drone. Check out this vid, mine sounds kinda like this. The key is an 18" Magnaflow muffler with a 2.25 pipe and a hi-flow cat..

Hers mine with a magnapack before I added a header

Here is mine after the header install:



Look up the exhaust sounds thread there are plenty of videos in there. Also listen with headphones or earbuds it'll sound better then

Tom how much drone did you get with your setup? I have the apn header, but am not looking to go with a high flow cat. So it will probably be quieter I assume right?

Magnaflows are SS, and so are the AP Xelerators (knockoff Mags). I really don't see much difference in these three. All are SS and straight through design. Why pay $200 for something that's fairly similar to one that's <$40?

Ok so I thought the whole borla catback is SS not just the muffler.... and the performance curve stuff is galvanized steel. Or am I wrong?

Oh, I have no idea. But exhaust pipe is aluminized steel, not galvanized. Or SS if your pockets are deep enough.

I'm sure it's already been asked, but does anybody run a cherry bomb pro? What do you think of them? I have one lying around from a parts jeep that I never had running and didn't know if it was worth putting in my rig.

I had one for a bit on my old XJ, it sounded pretty mean and was loud. My dad has one of the big ones, 30" I think, and it sounds a little ricey but low and smooth.

Replacing mounts and manifold and going to put a flex pipe in. What size would you say is minimum for a flex pipe? Seen 2" all the way up to 8" flex pipes. I know the longer the flex pipe the more give but what do you see is the minimum amount of flex you need?

Default cat back system

Just finally threw on a new performance cat back system last night. Just wanted to let anyone interested in one know that summit has a great Dynomax system on sale right now and dynomax is also offering a rebate on all systems! So if you are thinking about a nice cat back system, I would recommend the Dynomax, it's really affordable, sounds great (not to loud, just right) and I can definitely tell an improvement in driveability. Check out summit racings website, lowest prices by far right now.

I just got the same thing installed. I love it. Has the perfect amount of noise for me.
