Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
I own a 2007 Rubicon that's mostly stock, except for a 3" lift and 35's. I like the engine in this Jeep, it has good torque and smooth power, but I can tell it's struggling a bit to get the exhaust out. I hear a fssssss, fssssss, fssssss while accelerating hard, BUT I actually like the quiet exaust.
My question is, is there an exhaust sytem out there that flows better (without loss of torque), and that's only 10-20% louder than stock. I nice deep burble would be ok with me, but nothing that's going to drone in the cab horribly.
I see there's a ton of manufactures out there that make systems in different configurations. Any advice from experience would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You mentioned no drone, this is an option here:
Dynomax® Performance Exhaust | 2011-2007 JEEP JK Wrangler Unlimited w/3.8L 4 DR: Single - 2.5" Cat-Back system, 3" Polished Stainless Steel Tip, DynoMax VT®
While it will be louder than stock on throttle, cruising around it is very mellow.
If you just want to replace the muffler look to a 2.5" in the OVER 4.0 application.
Good luck!

I have the Dynomax VT on my JKU. It has a nice low tone at idle and is NOT loud.
Really the only time I hear it is at full throttle and even then my K&N CAI is as loud.
I liked this muffler so much I put one on my Hemi Rubicon. It is very aggressive in that application, but I'm getting used to it....

Does Dynomax sell a "Muffler Back" Kit? What is the OVER 4.0 Application?
Thanks
