Got mine off today.The factory clamps were easy to get off but those freakin rubber hanger sucked big time
It looks and sounds good except the tip sticks out past the bumper a good 2 inches
I guess I will be cutting some off the outlet elbow to fix that
Anyone else having troubles getting the clamps tight enough so they don`t leak?I have tightened mine so much I am afraid of striping out the threads
Plus I can see water dripping out around every clamp.I have the clamps even with the end of the pipe joints so I know its not an alignment problem.

I have the clamps really tight trust me, I got everyone of the clamps but the first one(one at the cats) to stop dripping water and leaking exhaust vapors but it will not tighten anymore.I cut off 2" of the exit elbow so the tip wouldn`t stick out as far..looks better too.Mine also has alot of "drone" to it when I let off the skinny to let the engine hold back the jeep but it does sound fairly good when its reved to about 3k-4k 
I also lost gas mileage with the exhaust with normal driving and no power gains that I can tell, ALOT of money for more noise and a shinny muffler can
I am not knocking MBRP, just my opinion on this exhaust and findings.I am glad the rest of you are happy with yours
If I had to do it over again I would have just bought a flowmaster 40 and be done with it.

When i first put on the new system my millage went up from 19L per 100km to 20-21L. Didn't help that i was enjoying the sound too much and was ripping the jeep to test it out. That and the first long drive i did was in a huge wind storm. square jeep + big wind = bad mileage. The negative results scared me at first but it went down. now i'm at 16L per 100Km.
