Isn't the orange paint already loud enough?

Take the muffler off, mine is off and it sounds great.

But seriously I put I flowmaster 40 series and piped it myself for $80-$100 all you need is access to a welder, a 180degree bent exhaust piece and 12" strait piece

Why? It sounds like crap and does nothing to improve engine performance.

......unless your JK is a dragster

Could you be more informative please. Do you mean the exhaust? If so, there is no performance gained by having a louder (free flowing) exhaust and most dyno studies show a HP and torque loss unless using a long tube header and a tuned exhaust system = $$$. Now if you just want to draw attention to yourself by having a loud (annoying) vehicle, chop your muffler off.
The "annoying" comment is just because I'm an old fart.

Haha ya guys it's just because I think it sounds cool. I'm only 16 and my mom doesn't want me to do it but I'll probably just eventually get a new exhaust. The reason I made this thread was just to see if there were any other ways.

Don't do it!! Mine came with a banks exhaust that someone half assed pieced together under there. It was great for about two weeks. Then I realized that I wasn't in any of the Fast and Furious movies.

Take your muffler off for a little if you want it louder. The "fad" of a louder jeep you are looking for will soon diminish and you'll be over it. At that point, you can just put the muffler back on and not have to worry about "cut pieces" or buying new parts...

Hows that sound bud?
