cmcveay Posted May 15, 2013 Report Posted May 15, 2013 :top: I'm drooling at the thought of a custom exhaust You should drool at the thought of a torque wrench.

cmcveay Posted May 15, 2013 Report Posted May 15, 2013 It arrived today Okay, once you've used it and we know you aren't gonna pull a "Kenny Rogers" on us, you can start drooling over the thought of a custom exauwst. (please note that I spelled that phonetically just for you). Anyway, I'm really glad we have another new vendor onboard. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
minime331 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 So im really liking the idea of the custom exhaust system. Justin went over the parts and material that's going to be used and I must say im going to like it a lot. Now just need to save up some extra cash STella- 14' Focus ST Roush CAI, Cobb access port stage1 tune, custom Ptuning 3" exhuast, Levels FMIC, Turbosmart BOV, rally armor mud flaps, more to come.
cmcveay Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 What kind of mufflers? You going with the split at the back or are you going with the "one ball" mod? Some 1st gen owners do that adn it's whne there's only one muffler adn the exhaust splits behind it and exits. May be less expensive and it will weigh less. I may have to talk to them about an exhaust too. The only thing keeping me from running a higher performance tune is the stock exhaust. The Stage II and Stage III tunes require a 3" exhaust and I'd probably go with a catless downpipe so it's really, really opened up. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

Justin said he is going to put it under the middle of the car, then run the pipe back to the right side then out the back. The price seemed a little high at first but after thinking about it I would be cheaper than buying a name brand one (magnaflow, borla, ....) and spending 3-5hrs installing it.

cmcveay Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 Yep. Magnaflow makes awesome muffler. When I put the VIP Custom in Archie, it really helped fix the drone and other things with the exhaust. 2.75" pipes or larger? 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold

It makes much more sense to just use the factory location on the passenger side (to balance out the weight of the driver a bit) and be some with it.

minime331 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Posted May 16, 2013 That IS a good price - with or without a discount. Yea I've come to realization that for what im getting and what included it's a great price. just at first the price shocked me and wasn't ready for it. but now thinking its a great price.

But I think with R55/56, if I remember correct, we can't do a "true" 3" exhaust because the very first opening is like 2.7" or something like that.
