This Completely Redesigned Jeep Wrangler Exhaust Sounds Like?

[@johnchisolm4033]

My dad grew up on a farm where they had to plow with horses. When you said only 5 horsepower I pictured my dad say, have you ever tied 5 horses to something. lol

[@TrailRecon]

LOL!

[@Andy-x3i8y]

It’s interesting to note that certain breeds of horses can produce upwards of 15 hp. A human being can typically produce about one HP.

Made in AMERICA, best part. Great video👊🏻

[@blueduster74]

Working at JBA Speed Shop in SD for several years taught me a lot on this. Jay was the original owner of JBA Exhaust so this was always a big area of interest for us. Having an engine and chassis dyno was great for seeing what losses you had from engine dyno to Chassis dyno. What styles of headers and exhaust style/sizes did. I miss that and all the cool builds of course.

That Magnaflow sounds amazing, in any car

[@nickm7825]

I have the MF Overland exhaust on my 2020 JL Rubicon. I’ve been very pleased with sound, added clearance and a bit of performance and no drone. It’s a great quality system.

[@jeffquick7917]

I absolutely dig seeing how things are made and behind the scenes, makes you appreciate how something goes from an idea to something we see on the shelf (or our virtual cart or wishlist). The tweaking and hands-on, human touch is still something that can’t be completely replicated by a machine. Great vid Brad, thank you!

[@TrailRecon]

100% agree Thank you!

[@andrewcoil5544]

I just put the axle back Magnaflow SS Street Series on my JK. It took only 40 minutes from the time I walked into my shop until I started the engine. Super easy! It sounds awesome! Very little drone when tooling down the highway at 70 mph.

[@jameseroh6544]

The thing about most dynamometers, is they measure power at wide open throttle. We drive at part throttle most of the time, if not all of the time. And fuel economy at a given speed on the highway is another comparison. So 7 months later, what is your summary of the exhaust experience?

[@bobhall6404]

Hey! My wife and I came across your channel as we were researching ways to outfit either our '23 Wrangler or '15 Ram for offroad camping. We watched your Big Bear and North Rim Grand Canyon videos of the various configs of the folks' rigs that traveled with you. Very impressive! What I'm most interested in is your connection to the Marine Corps. I noticed a 1stBn RTR flag and a CommBn flag in your garage. I was a DI at 2ndBn RTR PISC, and served on Okinawa with 7th CommBn. My wife could've sworn she heard you say "Oorah" on one of the videos we watched. As we research our outfitting options, I'm thinking this may be our "go-to" channel for ideas. Semper Fi!

I am surprised you still had a stock exhaust. I put a 3” AFE on my JK years ago and I love it. It goes in place of the resonator, no rear muffler at all. Sounds like a Nissan VR engine (GTR/370z). The tunability of the MaganaFlow setup is super cool. If you removed the resonator you would get more sound and flow. Though perhaps more drone.

[@dhu1042476]

I predict you'll choose the open chamber on the muffler. Place your bets!!

[@coltin4803]

I'm sorry but In my opinion the 3.6 doesn't sound as good as the 4.0 straight 6 especially with a magnaflow exhaust 😅 That's so amazing that you got to experience something most of us only drempt of doing.

[@exhaustinglife]

The 4.0L straight six is a pretty solid powertrain. Inexpensive to work on and reasonably reliable. It makes enough Jeep power to do Jeep things and not enough to hurt itself. Oh and I do agree that it sound great with a MagnaFlow exhaust.

[@coltin4803]

@@exhaustinglife Yes sir It's one of the reasons I bought my 95 ZJ even at almost 300,000 miles she's never lacking for power and has never left me afoot. And honestly doesn't do terribly bad on fuel running 33's.

Should do a cold air intake kit and a programmer that will increase as well.. I noticed a big improvement on my 2002 for ranger with the 4.0 my fuel mileage went up to as well.

[@grenobel]

Great, great video! It was like a 4-wheelers version of "How It's Made". I'm curious which configuration you'll end up with. I'm pretty sure I already know which one it'll be.

[@milspec_tube]

Exhaust open sounds great. I'm wondering if you also paired this with a cold air intake and an engine tuner to get any more power out of the Jeep for towing? I have a 2017 Sahara Unlimited with a 3.5" life on 37's. I'm looking to get a new travel trailer and I am a little concerned about the Jeeps ability to pull anything over 3000lbs. I saw your old Patriot Camper here in Vegas at the shop 2 days ago and I'm trying to decide between the Gen 2 or the AOR Odyssey which is around 3100 lbs dry. That hill going into the mountains just past Primm into Cali has me worried.

[@billwaterhouse5894]

Great episode Brad, very much enjoyed it. Did you guys discuss electric trucks/cars and what impact it may possible have on such an iconic American company?

​@@TrailRecon hopefully there will be a follow up video on it! 😉

[@gen2-x364]

Nice video. A nice sound change...a little deeper....sounds nice. When it comes time to freshen up the motor...go through and strengthen some components then drop an Edelbrock supercharger Stage 1 system on that thing.....they claim 317 rwhp and tq gains as well. I'd probably do a cam and valve train upgrades at least.....possibly even some aftermarket heads for better flow. By far your best vehicle you own imho.

[@TrailRecon]

More HP would be nice, but I've just seen too many bad outcomes over the years with superchargers.

[@vinjkdiesel3122]

Technology is so amazing that it makes something as basic as an exhaust system high tech. It was really cool to see the R n D side of things. I like the sound of the "cap" version, just enough growl sound. Brad, when does the "TrailRecon edition" exhaust come out? 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@nrhudec]

I'm interested in knowing if you've picked up any drone at all. A lot of people experience a drone at around 2500 rpm on the 3.6 with a less restrictive exhaust. I do and I've definitely been considering welding on a quarter wave resonator to try to kill those frequencies.

[@TrailRecon]

I've only so far put a few miles on with the J pipe and there is no drone... more testing to do.

[@black_widow_overland]

Very cool. I need a new exhaust system for my Gladiator

[@garretlewis4103]

Interesting video. I liked the flow data. I have been thinking about one of these Magnaflow exhausts for my 2016 Colorado. I upgraded to a Flowmaster Flow Fx and when I tow our small square drop, the drone can be a little rough. Bad news……1/8=.125 which is a decimal. 😂😂😂😂

[@danfurber2389]

Great video. I’m curious if they go into production. I tried the Banks exhaust for the JK and liked it at first because of the aggressive sound but in the end went back to stock; the drone was horrible on the HWY and it was just too loud on the HWY for me.

[@PrincessTS01]

My 23MP sounds quiet to me sitting inside, but I can hear it from inside my house when I remote start easily enough. What would it sound like with a different system than stock, could the 2.0l turbo do more with more air too? The stock numbers for the hp are 200 and 221 torque but they used 87 per the manual and the computer can up-tune with 91+ octane, I wonder what kind of changes would a system like this bring?

[@0661mike]

[@McIntosh1006]

Great video, very informative. I'd opt for the new Magnaflow muffler with the anti drone can. Still sounds decent. You are not gaining performance by running straight pipe version, just making noise. It's quiet comical when someone thinks that by being louder that a six cylinder sounds like an eight cylinder engine. You know what your 392 sounds like. That my appeal to young driver, with their first vehicle that wanted but couldn't afford a V8 engine? For an adult it's just embarrassing. And to have to follow an unnecessarily loud Jeep on the trail is torture. Even worst if they remove the catalytic converters. In your video " Is this Jeep Wrangler Build Going in the Right Direction? " .... about your 392, where you demo the sound of the Magnaflow #19598 exhaust system, was that in Quiet or Performance mode?
