New MBRP Exhaust - Don't think I like it
So I just got the stainless steel MBRP cat-back system. I had listened to all the videos on uTube, and all the comments on this forum I could find - it seemed that the MBRP was the best one.
Well, it's just way too loud. And the drone when cruising along in 5th or 6th reminds me of a twin-prop Cesna. On deceleration it spits and pops like a rice-rocket.
I just took my brother for a ride in it (fellow Jeep driver), and he said it sounds like his old Isuzu truck that needs a new muffler.
I had it installed at my local muffler shop, and they seemed to do a very good job. I've checked for leaks - all the offensive noise does come out the tip, it's just too much.
I was looking for louder, and a nice growl, but this is overkill.
I don't suppose there's anything I can do to tame it a little...?

I had a very similar issue.
I agree with the recommendation of installing a glass pack in front of it. Be sure to get one 30" or longer. My shop first install an small 18" glass pack - did not do anything. Switched it out for a 30" and it was perfect!
Good luck

. If you decide you want to get rid of it, drop me a line (as long as you don't hold it against me that I'm from Calgary)
