I know this topic has probably been beaten to death but I, like always, am on the fence about a decision. I installed a super 44 last november (birthday present from the wifey
) and after a harsh winter and some rough abuse the muffler looks pretty bad and about to rot through. So I figured I would redo my setup for my birthday and add a nice tailpipe for looks. Bascially I have come to these 2 options:
Dynomax ultra flow cat back system

Super 44 OR and tailpipe
http://www.jegs.com/i/Flowmaster/389/942547OR/10002/-1http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-54288/Now obviously the second choice is cheaper and its the sound I have grown to love over the past year. But Im worried that another winter and rough use will make it rot out again. We may not get a ton of snow here (although we did last year) but they oversalt the roads no matter how much we get and I do alot of beach driving (salty air) and Im worried about going with a flow master again. Dont get me wrong I dont have a problem with surface rust as I know that the exhaust will do that no matter what I choose. But this isnt surface rust.
Side question: Has anyone switched from a flowmaster super 44 to a dynomax ultra flo (or equivilent)? If so how is the sound and performance? I have hear they are typically slightly better flowing/performing then flowmaster but dont sound as loud or good. Youll have to pardon my muffler ignorance but this jeep is the first muffler'd rig I have driven since my civic (all turbo cars and 1 mustang using straight pipes).
