Hey guys I went out this weekend and did manage to get high centered pretty good. I noticed the KJ idled a little louder after this. Later I checked and found that the muffler flange was a little seperated and a small hole in my muffler. Would these affect the throttle response, it feels sluggish and sounds throaty.

It sure will.Did you damage the cat right before the flange connector? If so that will really effect how your KJ runs.I crushed my Borla muffler(went from about 7" tall to 3" tall) and lost all power and was getting about 3-4mpg until I replaced it a few days latter.

Hey Troy, No damage to the cat(I think), I was able to drive back the 270 miles @ 60 and had better gas mileage than when I drove up there @70-75. I am going to order the flowmaster 50 suv #52557 later.

The exact same thing happened to me, almost. I high centered mine driving over a big compacted snow pile, and the exhaust sound was definately off and it seemed to be running roughly.

Well just got back from picking up the KJ from the shop. It wasn't bad I as I thought, just the muffler being loose and one of the skids was bent causing the throaty rattle. Good as new, but I got to see the damage to the skids when it was up in the air. Boy am I glad my dad and I fabbed up the rock rails.
