We will have a system developed for the 2 door in the next week and will have pictures to post late next week or the first or the following week.

Thank you to everyone who has given us suggestions and feedback on what you are looking for.
Outstanding. Thanks for listening to us. As you have found out we are perfectly willing to let venders know what we want but few listen. Your original set-up wouldn't work for me as I've already smashed the stock set-up which wasn't nearly as exposed as your prior set-up.


Do you have a sound clip of this setup? Is there any heat shielding that needs to be run above it. Have you done any dyno tests on it? What is the cost and availability? How about the guarantee?

Is a dual exhaust possible??

If so, I would assume this would help with the sound, hp and mpg..

We will be posting sound clips, dyno #'s, cost and availability in the next few weeks. We have a 2 door scheduled in to have the prototyping and testing done next week.

I will be sure to keep everyone up to date.

These cat-back systems do improve fuel economy HP and give the Jeep a more aggressive tone. Fuel savings depend on an individuals driving habits but with any performance improvement, the engine is able to make power easier and that turns into fuel savings.

just what i was looking for! Can't wait for the 2door!

Edit: I just heard the sound clip for the 4door and I'm definitely impressed! Exactly the sound Ive been looking for. It sounds 100 times better than the flowmaster 40-50 series!

well turns out i dont need a dual tip kit for the four door. I found a local muffler dealer to do a relocation and what i want for a good deal. But i was just saying a non-true dual kit just split from the muffler back to come out in dual tips

It is difficult to maintain the proper amount of back pressure when running dual outlets on a muffler unless both outlets come out the same end...(basically run a Y pipe from the outlet) Otherwise, we found the flow was increased to a point where the low end suffered a little. We chose to not offer duals for this reason.

Let me know if you need anything in the future.
