[@wayalife]

Glad you like what you see and hear. We're certainly happy with it, especially after hearing what the stock exhaust sounds like with the resonator cut off.

[@gogerwi]

After seeing this video I'd consider cutting off the resonator (it might sound better too), add the tip, and save $535+ shipping+ taxes. Always appreciate your videos Eddie/ Cindy.

[@wayalife]

Sound is totally subjective and from what I've heard, I didn't like it. We chose to go this route because the Dynomax kit sounded more like stock when all was said and done. But as I mention in the video, it is something we had considered doing.

@@wayalife I'm in it for the cuts...no jeep so besides the best DIY techniques I get a kick out of how you present it.

[@DaddyDog]

Always top notch content 👍👍 First thing I did to mine was ditch the stock exhaust and bought a few sections of pipe, a tip, and a magnaflow straight through exhaust. Ended it right before the rear axle just behind the cab. It's fairly loud but I want to be heard on the trail incase someone is bombing around a corner hopefully they'll hear me and slow down.

Dynomax originally created this exhaust system for the 3.6L for the JK. I would imagine they have it available for the JL as well.

Nice installation! Appreciate all the good tips. My only concern is having the exhaust exits under the rear of the cab area. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but rock crawling or parked, you may get some exhaust into the cab. Thanks!

[@wayalife]

Under the cab? I think you need to watch the video again and more closely. It exists BEHIND the rear tire and out to the side.

Love this video, but I have a concern.. back pressure. The Gladiator has two cat converters each with two o2 sensors. I they sense any change in exhaust, the engine will not run properly. How do I know.. I had to replace all of my sensors and one cat converter (another story). QUESTION; Is there any concern here that changing the exhaust might require retuning the engine?

[@wayalife]

What I can tell you is that I have not had any issues with back pressure or otherwise since doing this modification.

[@lonewulf0328]

Boy, those metals sure blued quick. Looks great, but any work about having the hot exhaust that much closer to the rear wheel?

[@michaelexline5382]

Looks much better. I, however, would be slightly concerned that it would heat up the driver rear break/tire, looks like it exits pretty close. I would have adjusted the tail pipe to tuck up next to the frame and still exit out the back.

[@wayalife]

So far as I can tell, I can't feel any heat on the rear tire or brake.

[@utahyork3338]

I wanted to hear it right after you removed the old pipes! Maybe next time. I really like how the home mechanic can install an exhaust system without going to a muffler shop. Nice job.

[@desertfox3860]

Thanks Eddie. I'm into the look but couldn't hear any appreciable difference between the before and after, but bear in mind I'm not using a very sophisticated system.

[@wayalife]

To be honest, that was kind of the point, that it still sounded about the same. If we had just cut off the resonator, it would have droned and sounded off.

You're hearing things right. It's about the same and that's what we like about this kit. Cutting off the factory resonator would have left it sounding off and it would have a drone.

[@pedromassabie3600]

Sidebar question if you had started with a Mohave version rather than a Rubicon would you be on the same spot you are now?

[@wayalife]

I have personally driven a Mohave on and off road and while I think it's a great suspension package for a stock Jeep, there's no way it could ever compare to what you see on this Jeep. Everything on it is purpose built and to do way more than a stock Jeep of any kind could ever hope to do.

[@pedromassabie3600]

@@wayalife I agree what I wonder is why you choose the Rubicon and not the Mohave as a starter. And if you had gotten the Mohave would you be on the same truck you have now, or would have needed something additional or less

First off, there was no Mojave when we purchased this Gladiator. Second, even if it were out, I still would have wanted an electronic sway bar disconnects and a 4:1 transfer case. These come standard on a Rubicon.
