The smashing thing isn't limited to a single brand from what I've seen, but rather it's across the board. Went to an offroad show a while back in AZ and probably half the Jeeps they were showcasing for suspension, tires, lights, seatcovers, etc. had the rear exit exhaust tips that had been drug across terrain and deformed, some to the point that the lack of performance due to being 90% smashed shut, had to be noticeable. Just something to think about from an exhaust design standpoint. Mine actually exits up under the Jeep, in front of the rear axle due to the rear suspension, and above the skid plates, so it's safe from the normal offroad issues.

i know this may sound stupid, but please keep a CO2 detector in your vehicle. If it does not get dropped off at the body panel sides or rear it will find its way into your cab. Mainly if you were to get stuck and in one position for an extended amount if time with the motor running. Just a safety tip.
The reality of it is, going out the back has more probability of being sucked back into the cab based upon the vortex created by the square body as you're going down the trail. Again, it would take a long time in a pretty controlled environment with no wind currents for it to have any noticeable effect. Oh, and I'm also a contractor and have done all the confined space and gas level monitoring training over the years. It's a must before you send someone down to work on a live sewer manhole.

Glad to hear that you like it!

any thoughts on if I wanted to make it a little quieter? maybe adding a resonator? would love to hear any suggestions you might have.

Adding another resonator after the stock one will bring the volume down a bit. If you wanted just a small change, one of our 5x8x18" oval units should do the trick.

does it feel like the back pressure has changed since you put this one? something is definitely different with the pressure in mine, but can't really put my finger on it....mileage seems to have actually gotten worse as well.....i really like the look, but thinking I may have to go back to stock :(
