RyanL Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Well as the topic says I am asking opinions on which muffler to choose. The engine is the straight six and I have no intention of making dual pipes after the header and catalytic converter (I'm sticking with the stock on both). In the threads I have seen here, most go with a Flowmaster 40. My questions is, without sounding like a japanese fart can, which muffler will give the deep, throaty roar I'm looking for? Also if anyone has any videos of the sound of their mufflers (I've seen at least one around here) and could either post or post the link, it would be most appreciated.

dave92cherokee Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Don't know how they perform on a 4.0 but this is the muffler I plan on putting on the manche when I get the exhaust done. Ignore the stupid chrome ricer tip as they can be bought without it. http://kamikazeperformance.com/store/sh ... 4362.32377
'87 fuel-miser Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 just put a thrush welded on my '99xj (4.0) i'm liking it ! wonder how one would sound on my'87 mj (2.5) ??? :banana:
SW86 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 ive got the flowmaster super 40 and i love the crawl tones i get. i still have the factory cat with a turndown 6" after the flow and driving/idle its not loud at all. gives a pretty nice tone to me. kind of deep but not V8 deep
pamike Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 here's a vid of my exhaust. cherry bomb extreme single in dual out.

mjeff87 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 another vote for Thrush welded......I run one on mine with a short turndown tip, dumps right before the rear axle. Cheap, sounds good, heavy gauge... Jeff
RyanL Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 For those with thrush welded do you run the regular steel or the 304 stainless?
mjeff87 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 regular for me, think I paid $27 or so for it at my local (indep) parts house: Image Not Found Jeff
RyanL Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 How is the sound? I know it may be difficult to get across, but Thrush's website won't play the sound clips for some reason.
Rymanrph Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 How about straight header for that nice rumbly V8 sound? I_SGV62aoek This was a just a test; I ended up using a Flowmaster Super 40. I'm pretty happy with it.

'87 fuel-miser Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 regular steel pipe... however , i cut the down turned end of the pipe ( this is on my xj ) and put a straight piece on , believe it or not , it when from sounding lousey, to a sound i'm pretty happy with ! i will try welded thrush on my 2.5 mj when that finally needs replacing ! :banana:
RyanL Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Anyone have any videos of a thrush welded?
