Get me the phone book
I like the way the exhaust was kept tucked up - so for a couple of hundred bucks you get a decnt hp upgrade and an increase in decibels when you step on the loud pedal-get me the phone book - where's the nearest Magna Flow dealer?

Magna Flow's sound bites on the TJ are very close but I don't think My JK is quite as loud... But the tone is right on... Then again I haven't stood behind my jeep and gassed it.. I know when I rev it up like that it takes forever for the RPM's to come down.. Fly-by Wire...

Hello All; As for sound, its noticeable.. Unbearable, not really.. Its only really noticeable under load.. Taking off, etc.. With just a soft-top you can barely here it going down the highway @ 70.. At least now it sounds like a jeep.. I will try to get some sound clips up this weekend..
Low RPM torque - @ 1650 it was averaging gains of 26.5hp / 25tq.. Not bad to me..
I don’t have any hook ups as for the parts. I paid full retail..
- $250 for the AEM
- $260 Jet Performance Stage II chip.
The exhaust cost me about $300 only because we tried both Dual and Single set ups..
My exhaust shop says it should only cost about $180 for the Single Magna Flow System..
Having the muffler relocated is nice because now I have all the extra room under the back for whatever I may come up with..
Just to give everyone an Idea of the Dual Exhaust setup.. @ 2000 RPM’s it actually lost HP and TQ over stock…

I assume your low rpm hp/tq gains are with the single magna exhaust and the chip. Do you have the low rpm results for just the single magna exhaust??
Also - any idea on the effect on emissions compared to stock?
Thanks!

1Badjk- Sorry for this kinda stupid question. Did you keep your stock muffler or donate it to the muffler pile at the exhaust shop? I'm curious only in that the muffler was new and is there any value in trying to sell it at a swap meet like the one in Canby. Thanks for efforts to keep the rest of us informed- I really enjoyed reading your thread. Happy Jeepin' !

You got it.. Just a universal 6" round 18" long Magna Flow muffler with 2.5" in and out.. Didn't want to mess with the converters just yet.. But it was the combination of upgrades the lead to the gains.. But if you just looking for a couple horses and some nice sound then its the way to go..

this is GREAT data thanks.... would you have a price breakdown of these parts and overall feel for the power. Finally sound.... Thanks for taking the time to post these results! 230hp is how the truck should have come from the factory and I would be willing to get there but at how much and what else could be compromised? Thanks..... please post back!
not meaning to highjack the thread, move it where ever or delete it. Since when is a Jeep a "Truck?" I have noticed that many times on this board people calling their new JK's "Trucks." Sorry to be cynical but just making a point.
thanks
RJ
Of course, there's only one Jeep

Call it what you like but PLEASE don't call it a Hummer.. So sick and tired of being compared to a hummer... I had this guy in a hummer pull up and park next to me and have the nerve to make this statment " So, you bought the poor mans hummer." Never have I wanted so bad to beat the crap out of someone.. And I'm a nice guy.. I asked if he would like to take it to the trail with his "Bummer".. He just laughed and walked away.. So if some call it a "Truck", Car, SUV.... Whatever.. Just don't call it a hummer... wayoflife - you got it.. " There is only one JEEP"..
