Follow along as I modify my stock Jeep JKUR exhaust with a 4-inch S/S Magnaflow muffler. I included sound clips of the exhaust in different configurations including factory-resonator w/stock muffler removed, factory-resonator followed by Magnaflow muffler dumped before the rear axle, and factory-resonator followed by Magnaflow muffler w/stock tailpipe & factory muffler removed; all from outside the Jeep. I also have footage/sound clips of inside the Jeep accelerating both normally & aggressively.
Aftermarket Magnaflow "kits" run in the ballpark of $450-$500 for pretty much the exact same thing...your factory exhaust is already stainless-steel (S/S), so why not utilize it?
I'm not a SkullCandy salesman, nor am I sponsored by them in any way, but I found that the Crusher Wireless headphones (or similar audio device that has good bass response) reproduce the actual exhaust tones quite well & I recommend listening through something similar to get the full-affect of how the exhaust sounds.
I welded my system together in the video, but a clamp system could also be used if you put a couple of opposing longitudinal-slits in each end of the muffler mating flanges & clamped them down.
If you have any questions, leave a comment below or hit me up on Instagram @coldsteel_offroad . GOOD LUCK & HAPPY WRENCHING!!!

This can also be done w/o welding using clamps (see video description)

I recently did this after watching your video. Thanks. I paid $75 for a closer seller who got it to me in 2 days so it was on for the weekend. Saw it for $68. I was embarrassed at my first stop at the gas station. Lotta drone. 3rd week and I’m starting to connect with the drone. Love the exterior sounds, idle and coming off the gas. Love it at gas stations - don’t love it early mornings. Definitely reminds of my D&D exhaust I had on my CBR. I love watching my MPGs increase.

No problem bud, glad it helped. After a while of driving it around from cruising down the highway, stop & go traffic, to wheeling in the rocks I still would highly recommend it. 100% livable & not annoying yet gives you some tone. Good luck man & hope you like it as much as I do!

If you want a nice deep idle thats not to loud (about 85 decibles on cold start up) and about 81-83 when at normal idle cut your resonator off and install a dynomax 17615 in its place. You will need a custom tail pipe made but it made my 2door jk sound really good. Very quite on the highway and no drone at all

I did the same exact muffler on my 11 3.8 jku but I did it in the factory location tucked up close to the heat shield it has a very good tone sounds just like the dual exhaust kits sitting side by side for a whole lot cheaper I recommend welding it if it's gonna be permenant

Great video. I am in the process of doing this same mod on my 2012 JKU. Took the factory muffler off and added a 4” exhaust tip on the end. Waiting on the magnaflow to deliver but I can’t decide if I should delete resonator or install the magnaflow behind the resonator...

I highly recommend leaving the resonator installed & putting the Magnaflow unit downstream. It sounds nice under both normal & harder acceleration, is not annoying/embarrasing, and no drone. I've lived w/it for a while now & 100% feel I made the right decision. If u take the resonator out and/or terminate in front of the rear axle you're going to get drone & it will be annoying. Do your thing man but I wouldn't steer y'all wrong 👍🏻 I too ended up installing a slash-cut turn-down tip just after the rear axle. Thanks for the view & comment! Good luck bruh 🤙🏻

Thank you! Really nice video. I have a manual 2013 jkur and this looks like a nice solution. Can anyone tell me if this can be installed without welding? Is there a fitting that i could bolt on each end or is that too ghetto/janky? Also...for cutting, what's best for someone who has some but very limited cutting experience? A sawzall or a cutting wheel on a grinder? Or something else? Any advice from anyone is super appreciated! Thanks guys!

In the process of doing this. I took the stock muffler off sat. How is the heat having both the resonator and magnaflo in the same area. Is there a lot of build up in the floor board?
@coldsteeloffroad
@coldsteeloffroad 4 жыл бұрын
I haven't had any problems with it. If a guy wanted to be extra safe though, I reckon that you could take the stock aluminum heat shield, trim it down and put it above the muffler (if can engineer how to attach it). Either that or find some sort of aluminum heat-insulating tape. I'm running nothing on mine though & is working fine...no melted carpet or kids in back seat complaining 👍🏻

I bought this magnaflow because I wanted to get rid of my bulky eye sore oem exhaust. Everytime I went on a trail I would dent the tailpipe. The only bad part about it is that it is too loud for my liking, too much bark for a v6 it sounds like a gtr..

Did you keep the factory resonator as well or omit it? I thought it was too loud as well w/o the resonator...at least it would drone more for sure.

I got one for $20 from a friend who used his a week 😂 but my Porsche 944 has had someone cut off the cat and I have a fart cannon I'ma cut off my Honda I'm sell to replace the burnt factory muffler and try to use the magaflow as a resonator to get rid of the awful cabin sound it's like a confused v6 sound as it is right now at idle sounds like a 4cyl with no exhaust and at around 2500 its drone city until about 4k then it sounds like a funky v6 under load 😂 I honestly hate the way it sounds so even if it's just straight quiet I'd be happy

@brad coley I reckon it depends on your state's laws. I know some require the tailpipe to exit at least even w/the body, which is easy to circumvent by either installing a longer tailpipe or just having a "for inspection only" extension you can clamp on & remove when done. You can get most anything to pass if you ask around and find the right shop on the 1st attempt 🤙🏻
