Me likey...how many inches are the tips? Have any vids/sound files?

 

hey albo, nice wheel's.... what is the offset of them?

 

There 3-inch tips. Ill see if i can get a video with sound uploaded soon, and also i want to check if i can cut the bumber to give it the small curve or just get a custom lip.

 

What kind of muffler did you use? I ordered a Flowmaster Series 80 and a pair of 4 inch tips.

I'm going to notch/cutout the bumper for the tips to have a nice tight exit.

Looks really good, though...kind of Range Rover-ish.

 

Well i got a Flowmaster don't know the series but, what i did was i cutted the first catalyst... or how ever you call that. Then replaced it with the Flowmaster. From there just trew 2 pipe down to the back and attached the 3 inch tips. I also thought about getting 4-inch but thought they look to big.

 

Did you cut the catalyst off or just cut the pipe behind it? If you cut it off 1. you will of course get your check engine light on constantly and 2. if you are in the USA I wouldn't go around telling too many people you removed it because it's a $2,500 federal fine for removing a functioning catalytic convertor.
The cat is that round muffler looking item up near the engine in the pic. We had a customer who was a bad boy doing things he wasn't supposed to with cats and ended up with over $26,000 in fines

 

looks good. if it were me, i would've put them farther apart but thats just me.

How about a picture of the underside so we can see how its done.

 

Yes, underside pics would be nice.

I don't think your idea will work on a 4WD MK, though. Driveshaft and axles get in the way.

 

thats sweet dude i would like something like that

 

Hope i dont get yelled at for this but id put them farther apart

but there sweet looking too ..hope to hear them !

 

hey... se mira bien chevere. pon un video pa' escucharlo. yo le quiero poner al mio un muffler tambien pero no quiero que suene como un civic.....haha. nice car man

 

Hey, you from Puerto Rico or something?

 

Oh dear god I can actually understand that lol

you asked him if he can post a video because you want to do that to your jeep but dont want it sounding like a civic right ?

geeze my Spanish isn't rusty after all lol

 

lol! exactly. good job!!:smiley_thumbs_up: practice it more.... like i joke with my boss sometimes pretty soon the operator on the phone is gonna say for English press 2....lol!!!

 

Well i hope you guys like it, and feel free to comment.

that is sweet!! hope u can get a sound clip or something. nice exhaust tho im thinkin about doin it to my pat. how much did it cost u to do it? i dont think they're close to each other tho, i think its just right. far apart would make it look a lil odd. very nice......:smiley_thumbs_up::smiley_thumbs_up::smiley_thumbs_up:

 

Did you saw a hole in the muffler and add another pipe? OR, Did you divide the exhaust pipe and use 2 new mufflers? Or is the left one a dummy? I do like the pipes coming out straight rather than curved toward the ground like original.

 

I think he used 1 muffler in the center of the vehicle where the resonator is, a single in dual output muffler or SISO with y-splitter and 2 pipes to the rear, plus tips. Since he has the 2WD, there is enough room for a muffler vs. resonator where we have a driveshaft in the channel plus the axle in the rear.

Pictures would be helpful.

 

how did they get a trailer hitch and tow hook in the picture on a patriot lol. and are you talking about that small piece thats in the exhaust? is it the same for 4x2's?

 

jessi - Install a hitch and keep your towhook too.

 

I like it, Looks good. Want to see the underside though! Thanks

 

The law against removing a functioning cat has been around since at least the early 1980's because folks were taking their cats off or gutting them--the theft problem that is going on now where they are stealing them even off car lots is new because there is so much more precious metal in them now. When your cat goes bad you have to replace it-you can't legally just leave it off. I had a '80 J20 and it did have a cat--according to my converter catalogs '79 and UP J series trucks should have had cats and '81 CJ8 & up should have as well. If yours is earlier then you are lucky. Also not every county in the country has smog check requirements so if you have no cat it wouldn't matter unless you happen to get pulled over for a random smog test(California does this in some counties). Get pulled over for a speeding ticket and mouth off to the cop-guess what he might decide to go over your car for all kinds of violations and voila you just got popped. The folks who USUALLY got the fines were the muffler shops who got caught by the BAR or state agency when someone turned them in for taking cats off.

In the old days of BB style convertors & the other old style cats performance was severly restricted. The new cats on the market today are more free flowing and the cars are tuned to run with the cat & computer. When I sold cats in CA you would hear all the time who was getting nailed--there is a magazine that some of the shops got that had a "Wall of Shame" section that had all the shops who got nailed and their fines. The largest fine I ever saw was a shop down in southern CA that got about $46,000 in fines after being warned twice. In CA the Air Resource Board would run stings where they would send cars into shops for a cat and see if they could get the shop to put the wrong cat on or take one off. They would also try to get smog shops to pass cars that wouldn't normally pass. Gotta watch out in states like that and quite a few states want to follow CA's lead

 

Big deal! I have had dual exhaust on my Pat for almost two years.

Big deal! I have had dual exhaust on my Pat for almost two years.

HawgGuy, what system is that? FlowMaster or MagnaFlow? Two muflers? Did you notice any performance change? MPG Change? Did they have to calibrate anything? Will this void any part of the warranty? If I can ask, why did you do it? Do you think it matters if you are 2.0 or 2.4? How rich is your sound? It doesn't sound like a souped up honda or a rotery engine right?

Does anybody have video and sound of the Patriot with flowmaster or Magnaflow on it? Really valuable to have this.

Thanks Much!

 

So there is another Puertorican here!!!
