Default Jeep Swag Storage Compartment: Work Without Relocating Muffler?

I have been looking at the jeep swag larger storage compartment but I dont want to have to relocate my muffler. Is it as easy as cutting the old one off and putting this one on? Is it bolt on? Do you have to relocate the muffler? Anyone have pictures installed?

I do not believe it will work without the relocation, it just goes to deep it will hit the top of the stock muffler. Whats your reasoning for not wanting to relocate your exhaust?

the muffler definitely needs to be relocated.

PM me an email address and I'll send you the install instructions.

Here's a link to an old customer write-up. This is the previous style tub. The new design is easier to install and has a little more room in it. LINK

And yes, it's big enough to fit a small child and a soccer ball...

Default How much more does it need?

I have and aftermarket muffler so it is a little smaller than stock. Would you still have to relocate the muffler? Just curious
Thanks

If you mounted a muffler below the tub, it would be WAY exposed. The bottom of the tub is just above the bottom of the rear cross member. Your muffler would have to be completely below the rear cross member.
