So I needed a new exhaust to pass inspection etc and decided to upgrade today as long as I was replacing stuff. I went with a FlowMaster Aluminum Exhaust and high flow new Cataliytic Converter. It really has added some power to my 4 banger! It also makes the Jeep sounds like an 8 cylinder now and it looks great with that angled wide chrome pipe tip insead of the rust tube I used to see in the rear! Anyone else have experience/opinions about my new set up? It is actually a little too loud for my taste but I can get used to the sound.

ive got a header waiting in my garage but i still havent ordered my flowmaster I'll see your header and raise you a down pipe! hehe I picked up a Banks Stinger header and down pipe in July, stil have not put them on. When I bought my pickup it had a flowmaster with dual pipes, cause it was about 10 years old, the cat fell off so I put a new cat on and a single flowmaster with a outlet before the rear tire, sounds so much better!

No, but I know now, Thanks! Guess I will have to get a louder stereo for when the top is down. Yeah it is a little loud but I sure am gonna fool people into thinking there is more than a 4 cylinder under the hood, at least that is the the light turns green and I am dusted. It has all the power I need for off road though and the exhaust has helped my power noticably.

"what series muffler did you do?" Don't know, I had the work done by the mechanic, not myself. I will see if there is a number on it somewhere. are some series better than others?

flowmaster has a whole diffent series of mufflers, 40 series are the loudest, 60 series are for imports, 70s are a quieter suv muffler, 80 series are superloud mufflers for camaro applications....i think the only way to tell what you have is ask your mehanic or measure the case, beause each series has differnt case lengths, and usually if the muffler case has a bunch of V's in it, in the center, then its a delta flow..hehe
