How to make it sound just right?

[xj31]

i have this on my 96 5.2.It sounds perfect.http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...urerPartNumber

The shop installed it for me, took about 10 min. They simply cut around the 02 Sensor (the one on the cat converter) then they made cuts so the cat & muffler fell off!

They welded on the new muffler & cat, then they welded the original 02 Sensor back on.

If your only installing a new muffler, the Cat Converter does not need to come off!

XJ I just bought that system today ran out to Summit and got it less then an hour ago, I was going to get this sytem from FlowMaster for $314.99
this is a whole lot cheaper then that.

Thanx

DK,glad to here you didn't buy it from Flowmaster.I almost made the same mistake,but I found it from Summit.Its really a nice system,not too loud but it still has a healthy sound.I put a K&N cold air kit on at the same time and my mileage went up by like 2 mpg.well worth it.

darn, the one at summit only fits the 5.2, i have the 4.0

after installing like what xj and dk have will the cat. conveter come off? if you say the cat. converter comes off,,, then i won't pass emissions will i?

No the Cat, will not come off! I actually bought a new cat at the same time, i just finished installing it about an hour ago. GNR try to find this system for yours, I am sure it is exactly what your looking for. It isn't louder then the old system (OEM) - well maybe by a decibal. But it has a deeper tone. - It sounds great. I cannot express how happy I am of this sound of this system........

My Thanx to XJ - way cheaper then from the Flowmaster site. I didn't even spend that much in the use of gas for the "less then hour" drive to summit.... WELL WORTH IT.

GNR - i am sure if you find this sytem for the 4.0L and you get it you will like it.

I have a 93 Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0. What I did on my jeep was put a brand new Exhaust system. Brand New Manifold was about $200.00. Dual Exhaust Flowmaster 40 series that was about $275.00. All new pipes Two, 18 in. Chrome tips those run about $45.00 each. Now the trick to hear your Jeep roaring blocks away is to put bigger pipes for the exhaust. The stock jeeps come with a 2 1/4 change it to a 3 1/4 in. . Oh and another thing change your catalytic converter to a smaller one. Those run about $120.00. I know its not cheap but you wont be dissapointed. Remember Flowmaster is the best around for the quality and performance.

GNR,I'm pretty sure you can get this to fit a 4.0.The only difference I can think of is the size of the outlet on the cat might be different,but I'm sure if it is different,you can get an adapter or reducer or something to make it fit.It actually comes with a reducer because the inlet on the muffler is bigger than the cat.It probably won't sound the same as a 5.2 but I'm sure it can be made to work

UPDATE: I just put the K&N FIPK (Fuel Injected Performance Kit) on my 94 ZJ (5.2L) and damn what a sweet sound, the sound of that suction of the intake is SWEET! I don't know which is better the sound the of Air coming IN or going OUT.

alright i have found a flowmaster exhaust system online that is for a 4.0 and its off some site called rustys http://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/m...y_Code=PER_EXH
but it says it comes with delta 50 series and it said other mufflers available... thats the only place i could find that had the whole system for a 4L

[dksob81]

Yes that is the exact system.

i went to a local shop and the guy said that i could get the muffler even a dual muffler 40 series for the same price as the signle and put new piping in for about 150

[GunsnRoses88]

i just got mine today at a local muffler shop, got 40 series muffler kept piping which wasn't very old and put a nice shiny 3 1/2 inch angle cut tip on and it sounds nice!, cost me 110 dollars

Do yourself a favor and head over to Rustys
https://rustysoffroad.com/Merchant2/...y_Code=PER_EXH
and check out their cat-back systems...You really don't need to replace the catalytic converter...just what comes after...At rusty you can get either the flowmaster 40 or 50. I have both on two seperate jeeps. the 50 has a serious sound to it...the safety inspector thought I had a bad exhaust until he looked under the jeep and saw the flowmaster...he let out a whistle of appreciation and passed the Jeep!
