I tried removing the muffler and it sounds good starting up and just sitting there but anything above idle didn't sound good to me but to each his own.

[QUOTE=Eracer76;266294]I have the Magnaflow stainless #11226 that I got off ebay for $65
I installed it myself in the relocated spot under the driver side of the Jeep.
Its real simple to cut a section out of the stock stainless pipe and slip in the new muffler.
I also re-installed the factory heat shield above the muffler in the new location.
Then in the rear, I cut the pipe just before the factory smashed spot above the rear axle.
Then I took the Jeep to a muffler shop and had them bend a tail pipe and slip it on for $60.
I love the way it sounds....Ive owned about 10 vehicles now with aftermarket exhausts and this is the first time Ive been truly happy with one.
At idle its just loud enough to tell it has something aftermarket, at highway speed you cant even hear its there,
then just accelerate or mash the gas and you know it has something going on!
I didnt loose any performance at all, I think it may have gain some if anything.
Then I added the Airaid intake and it got even better.
I have a whole stainless system, no smashed spots, mandrel bends and all for $125![Big Grin](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Question.. I did approx the same to mine and love it.. I didn't re-mount my heat shield though.. I was thinking about trying to wrap it around the evap canister etc. But would consider putting it where you did yours.. Can you tell/show me how you mounted yours?? thanks..

K New muffler installed my Custom Exhaust shop opted to install the Flowmaster 40 series anyway . The 50 series was not loud enough for my liking. I hoping that a CAI will give it some more growl and a little more punch.
