I heard both of them on you tube and they are similar in cost, minus the rebate from dynomax.

What do ya guys and girls think?

That looks like a nice set up, but do you have to relocate the evap canister to run it? It looks like you do?

i would say just slap an aftermarket muffler on it. it will be a lot less expensive (save $100+)

honestly, what are the benefits from an entire cat back system?

Yes you do.

With the JeepSWAG kit you have all mandrel bent tubing (no deformity in the piping like stock has), completely stainless steel construction (some brands compromise on the welds), and a very nice note--one that is not too loud (as compared to typical muffler shop pick-up truck mufflers), and is therefore more appropriate for a vehicle used in the wilderness (unlike the typical mall-crawler pick-up). It relocates the muffler from the eyesore it is at the rear of the JK to where the stock evaporative canister is. And, relocating the evaporative canister obviously protects it. Finally, once the canister and muffler are relocated, you can add the tub enlargement kit, which gives you more than twice as much storage space in the cubby (visit web page). Brett Woods, who runs JeepSWAG, is a forum sponsor, and just a super guy who specializes in niche products for the Jeep JK. His customer service is right up there with David of Northridge4x4.

I have the dual output Dynomax and love it. Combined with a CAI it sounds great! I notice a little better throttle response too
