JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Thanks MBRP

Default Thanks MBRP

Slow to post but here is the MBRP 2 dr stainless exhaust relocation.

Thank you for giving such a sweet deal on this kit.

I did this in about 30 minutes. In the driveway with a no problem and no special tools. Just make sure the muffler is cool.. and spray the bolts and the pipes with some good 'ol WD-40, Then undo the two clamps on the stocker and remove the muffler and stock pipe.
Then loosely install the new exhaust and when its all lined up, tighten the included clamps really really good...

Wow. You said 30 minutes, huh? That is sweet. I think I'll have to try that. Did the kit include everything you needed for the install?

Yes it did. I soaked the stock clamp bolts down with wd-40 and the sprayed the pipe joints as well. Mine simply unbolted with just a little elbow grease, then twisted the pipes apart. The instructions were good.

MBRP supplies 4 new clamps, just like the OEM ones. They look stainless to me. Took a lot of elbow grease to bolt them down though. I also made sure to point all of the clamps so my bolts 1) didn't interfere with anything and 2) were facing down
My stock clamp on the front had the bolt/ nut facing UP so I had to use a wrench instead of a socket.. no big deal, I just like the little details.

Looks nice.

If WD-40 isn't enough you can always use PB Blaster.

So far its been a week without issue.

I do have woods relocation kit. Just worried after all the stories of evap problems after doing this. Still probably the way to go.

I also thought of a heat shield and found some material at jegs or something like that... just have to decide on which way to go. lol.

I ordered it direct from Steve at MBRP

Shipping from Canada was like $40 US. Definitly an easy bolt on.


Thanks TF. You guys rock as well. Thats your 6" LA I'm sitting on.
