Is anyone running the Pypes Performance Catback Exhaust System in their JK? I did some light off-roading a week or so ago and now my stock system is in shambles (Pipe clamps and bailer wire). Just wanted to hear what people think about the system.

Thanks in advance

Re: Pypes Exhaust
Is that the one with the huge duel tips? If so, not a good choice for an off road rig, won't last long.

I thought the muffler was at the back bumper ? Looking at that system might be a good thing if you can deal with that sound level on road. FjR68

Re: Pypes Exhaust
Installed it on Saturday there is noticeable difference in sound as well as horsepower, which caught me by surprise, since the previous muffler was falling apart I think the lack of back pressure caused that loss its nice to no longer fear losing it on the pike while doing 80 its also nice and tucked away so no fear of tearing this one off while on the trail

Re: Pypes Exhaust
thats true theres certainly less of a chance but you're certainly right the only way to know for sure is to get it out on the trails can't wait until I actually have a free weekend.RalphTomaccio wrote:We'll see about that!Clarke6677 wrote:. . . its also nice and tucked away so no fear of tearing this one off while on the trail

You now have room to add an air tank too.
