Pros Mandrel bent 2.5" piping, ease of install, flowmaster muffler
Cons Came with a turn down at the end of the tailpipe
Recommended yes

Comments: All and all a good product at a good price. Nice bolt-on application. Like that it came with your choice of 40 or 50 series flowmaster muffler. Although when i bought mine they only offered the 50 series which was to quite for my taste. I dont like the turn down on the the exhaust, makes it quieter. Is an easy fix. Just cut off the tip of the turn down and bolt on a nice stainless steel exhaust tip found at any auto store. Very pleased

Pros It sounds nice and deep with the 40 series
Cons hangers on the tail pipe are a little off
Recommended yes

Comments: I love the sound of the FM 40...I get people asking me all the time what kind of engine I have in the jeep. It makes the jeep sound real deep and sounds nice when you give it some gas.

Pros Easy install, all pieces needed included
Cons Product Warranty
Recommended no

Comments: I've had the Delta Flow 50 for 18 months and have to replace it due to a vibrating baffle. Flowmaster only offered a discount not a replacement. I can get a Dynomax for less than the discount which has a lifetime warranty. Any good manufacturer would have stood behind their product since it is an obvious defect.

Pros Sounds good, easy to get on.... until i go to put the exhaust clamps on.
Cons Exhaust clamps didnt fit, hate the bend pipe at the end, pic is decieving.
Recommended yes

Comments: Only one of the exhaust clamps fit, which was between then muffler and the cat. I had to go and buy 2x2.5" clamps, then had a leak so i just welded it. I only didnt like the bent pipe, id much rather have a straight pipe; which is what i did. I love it not, good sound, not too loud, not too soft.

Pros great flow, good sound
Cons none
Recommended yes

Comments: I purchased Rusty's mandrel bent 2.5 inch muffler back exhaust piping with a 2.5" magnaflow cat and muffler upstream. Sounds great, fantastic burble on when downshifting. Louder then desired even with the longest 2.5" Magnaflow muffler available.

Pros All items needed to install
Cons None
Recommended yes

Comments: I purchased the Rusty's 2.5" cat-back with the FM 40 series, was worried it would be too loud by other reviews I have found online. It is a nice deep tone, and doesn't even bother my wife when she is sleeping when I leave home for work @ 0300.. The kit came with 2-2.5" clamps and 2-2.375" clamps... I made use of all four of them when I installed. I had no issues with the install once my old exhaust was off. Will be purchasing the same kit for my upcoming purchase of another XJ as well..

Pros Cheap?
Cons Really bad fit-up
Recommended no

Comments: While it does what it is supposed to, it was a terrible fit up. The tail pipe and muffler ended up being about 4" shorter than needed, and I had to get some more tubing to make it work, and the bends weren't perfect either. The Cherry Bomb Pro muffler I do like, sounds good, no drone, not loud.
