Damn.. Girlfriend seen the BBQ paint bottle and now I have to paint the BBQ for real..

Please note... dont let the bottle of BBQ paint around your girlfriend.. It should be written on the bottle near those "Warnings" IMO..

Great sound, just what my son and I were looking for. Some of the other sound clips we listened to sounded great with our eyes closed but with eyes open the sound appeared to be promising more than the Jeep's engine will ever be able to deliver. MBRP struck a great balance for us.

Benefits other than the sound? Butt dyno says maybe a little more omph but that could be just due to the sound playing mind tricks. Concrete benefits? It looks like the K&N drop in air box filter and the MBRP exhaust may be combining to give a 0.3 to 0.4 mpg increase to partially compensate for the mpg penalty incurred by using the A/C.

No issues at all after ~2000 miles and the sound does become richer and more purposeful with age.

Have you made some sanding or hard cleaning before applying BBQ painting ?

I have the MBRP black series and like the sound, I can't say if I get any mpg increase because I have a heavy foot. The only problem I have with it is it's only about 8 month's old and the powdercoat is coming off and the muffler is rusting.

Nice to know... I was looking for a black or stainless MBRP catback... seem like stainless is the way to go then..
