ok so on Saturday I was on a trial run and on are way out my exhaust fell down. I backed up it to a dirt mound and it bent the exhaust about 3-4 months ago. after that the rubber grommet would pop the exhaust out and it would then just hang loose. with all the vibration it from off-roading the clamp came loose and fell. well I had a u bolt and some tie down rope and the u bolt held up until I got home and the rope of course just melted. the clamp has a little weld in it to hold it in place so I couldn't fix it my self. so I took it to a muffler shop and had them just put a custom exhaust in for $480 with tax. so the moral of the story is watch where you back up at, I just want every one to know that that clamp will not hold up if your exhaust comes out of the rubber hanger.

Looks kinda like my exhaust, but mine's got a kink in it because it's for a 2WD. Interesting.

Its a really low low sound but when it warms up it vibrates. Think it needs to be lowered a half an inch. Glad i had the resonator put on. Didn't want it to sound like a rice burner nor a musical car.

Yes it is the cat back exhaust. Does yours vibrate when it warms up. Or has a weird sound what it's warmed up
post some pics of your setup

sometimes I've felt a little vibration, wasn't sure what it was. Happens when I take it out of park and hold the brake pedal.
Stock system was pretty loose, maybe this is why

Had to use a welding torch to get the old one off....

Lost a couple inches clearance under the back doors, but not too bad, especially considering I'll be lifting it ASAP anyways

Still looks about this good(sorry about blurry pics, just a 3mp camera), but the bumper melted over it since I got stuck at the sand dunes

yeah, and now the bumper's got that nice torn look right around the tip, what with all the plastic, lol. The tubing doesn't look as shiny anymore as the tip and muffler still do, I think it's just because of all the heat generated by the system, as it doesn't look quite like rust.
