edman2007 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 do you guys think you get what you pay for when it comes to exhaust? I want to get a flowmaster 40, but i have a hard time justifying $60-80 for a muffler when i can go to fleetfarm (northern thing) and buy a cherrybomb turbo for $20. just need a little input. thanks
jeep_freek88 Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Glasspack. :agree: :agree: :agree: cherry bomb is da BOMB
edman2007 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 yupp somthing along those lines... i think its like 23.99 at the store :brows: cheap (but loud ) I had one on my comanche in place of the cat then a turbo muffler and it sounded alright.

I went with a Walker, but I am certain any name brand FlowMaster, Cherry Bomb would outlast the cheapy immitations.

Wet weather and road salt do a real number on them. I generally get about 2 and a half to 3 years out of one. I got a Holley Red Hots from Farm and Fleet(the other half of that partnership) for 20 bucks for my ZJ. Sounds pretty good on the 5.2. But I didnt really like the sound on the 4.0L. The tone was too flat.

The tone was too flat. :yes: Yes no salt out here in California (except on a Margarita) where an OEM or name brand muffler has lasted me as much as 15 years, I would imagine in your area where the conditions are so harsh a name brand replacement would be essential if you wanted or cared if a muffler lasts or not.
Eagle Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Personally, I go to Auto Zone and buy an OEM replacement from Walker. The muffler has a lifetime warranty so the one I bought six years ago is the last one I'll ever buy.
ren Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I had a Thrush "Redhed" glasspak on my XJ for less than a yeay before it burned out and the inner tube (baffle) broke loose on each end. It sounded okay, but after it died, my XJ sounded like a tractor, literally. We have videos where you can hear it, and it sounds like a damn farmtractor, right down to the rrrRRRRR when you hit the gas. On a good note, it did hold up to getting abused quite heavily and often on the trails and rocks. :yes: My MJ is running a Thrush "Turbo style" muffler, and it sounds nice, and is not overly loud, either, even after several offroad trips.

We have videos where you can hear it, and it sounds like a damn farmtractor, right down to the rrrRRRRR when you hit the gas. Haha! Mine has a similar problem with broken baffles (after inexplicably denting the downward side of the muffler) but its when downshifting to come to a stop. Backpressure just right and its rrrrrBARRRRRRRpoppitypoppitypop as the bottom of the muffler visibly vibrates (had it checked at last oil change... was good for a few laughs). No cat since emissions aren't required in this county... no idea what happened to it. :razz:
landlubber Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 I need to find a muffler for the MJ i just got. bleeding from the ears every time I drive it.
ComancheKid45 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I installed 1 of these on my truck last winter and my XJ will be getting 1 someday as well.....Sounds Great and good volume! plus its cheap! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BIG-50051FLT/
CWLONGSHOT Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 I have had a number of mufflers and I seem at always go back to a "turbo" style. Pick your poison, there are a number of makers. I have used the Dynomax, Magnaflow, Thrush and tried to buy the Gibson. Jegs fumbled my order three times so I told them to stick it! The cherry bomb is durable and cheep. But gets obnoxiously loud as the time passes. Its cheap and durable that's about it. CW

edman2007 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 got the cherrybomb glasspack welded on today. Sounds very similar to the online clips of the flo master 40's, but i'm sure its different in real life. Note on the cherrybombs (had this on my comanche too) they smell for a little bit while the paint seems to bake on (if this makes any sense). $25.49 at Fleet Farm (even comes with the sticker 4 extra HP!)
89eliminator Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 cat-less 4.0 with FM40 is the way the cool kids roll
edman2007 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 yeah, even tho i have some cash, just can't justify the $60-80 for a new muffler. I'll stick with the cheapies. My manche was catless, I swear it just fell off :brows: (with the help of some power tools)
Red 1989 MJ Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Personnaly i will go for a Cherry Bomb 24" + Catalyser. :waving: This is the project for the week-end
