PS. Glad to see you on here Greg, and thanks!
When its time, I would gladly take the snorkel off your hands

We have had severe flooding that seems to occur every few years but "need" the snorkel is a stretch. Just because I have a snorkel does not mean I look for deep water to drive through. Been there done that to show that the snorkel does work...

Eric,

I like the design of your exhaust. How do you like the new muffler? since you have that short tip do you have any problems with exhaust getting into the cab when going slow or when stopped for long periods and the jeep is running?

This build kicks butt! I may even consider cutting my rockers out and replacing them with 2x6 tubing. Inspiring work to say the least.

I'm very happy with the exhaust. The tip is pointed down and I have roughly 6" lift, so I haven't had any problems with CO entering the cab. Plus I am doorless during the summer months so its kind of hard to tell...

thanks, It probably isn't a problem with that much lift since there is probably plenty of airflow under the vehicle.

Could be also that he just got a new cat and it's actually working haha. I need to order that exhaust soon. So you don't have any problems with the rear axle hitting that low tailpipe?

No problems. It is 4.5" above the axle and I have 3.0" travel before my bumpstops make contact.
