how did you cut the stock muffler off...
I don't think I have the proper tool./

i think i am going to try to use a reciprocating saw but i remember someone saying they used a hack saw

Hack saw would be slow and a pain in the stupid. A reciprocating saw is what I used, cut through it in a matter of seconds. Hack saw would be fine but would take a little bit of time.

WOWWWWW!!! i LOVE THE SOUND I AM GETTING FROM THIS MUFFLER!
IT IS LOUD AT THE START AND THEN QUIETS DOWN AFTER ABOUT 3K RPM!

I can't say enough good things about this muffler!

I found this link and it looks like the right In/Out to me, cheapest price i could find, the only concern i have, it clamping the new muffler on the old pipe without welding could have adverse long term effects. Without sealing the pipes I'm worried about excessive corrosion, water build up, and the clamps will eventually wear out and rust off (especially with trail use.)

Of course you could go the alternative route and replace the everything from the headers back and replace it with a dual pipe / mufler setup. Use pure stainless steel piping and the stainless steel muffler, then you never worry about replacing it.

Honestly it's not that much more i'd be tempted to go for

The Center/in Offset/out 2.5in. Should be the right one, and it's really what, only 30 bucks more?

I'm not too worried about anything down there rusting, considering it only really rains for a couple months here, and we never get snow.
I clamped mine on b/c it was a heck-of-a-lot cheaper, and I got to do it myself!

Sounds like it all worked out for you. How did the install go?

It took my brother and myself ~2 hours. Mostly because he is a perfectionist and wanted everything level and ground down smooth. I can't say enough good things that he does, but man I thought we were never gunna finish.

Do you like the sound of the muffler. The first time I started mine up I loved it. Had the wife drive around the block and drive buy the house to see what it sounds like. Am very happy with it.

have you guys noticed that now it run up to ~3000 RPM before dropping off to second gear, then shoots back up

It is quite different than stock... just making sure I am not going crazy or that I broke something!

Simply put, either you lost gobs of low end power ( I believe mine lost a little by opening up the 2.25" sections) , or you're accelerating harder

well... it is actually increasing my mpg!!!
I am at half a tank and at 175miles. I used to get 150 at half a tank, but I'll see for sure when I fill up!

Guest · **Posted:** Tue May 19, 2009 2:17 am

LOL, sorry, but a muffler is not going to give you an extra 3+ mpg...

riptricket · **Posted:** Tue May 19, 2009 4:09 am

i am just saying it is kinda weird... not saying it gave me 3 extra mpg. I am waiting for the fill-up to calculate it.

Can't jump to conclusions about one tank. Different conditions, different driving. Take data for 10,000 miles both ways then compare

I love my super 44 and how it sounds and performs. But Im not happy with the fact that it rotted in less then a year. I went with a dynomax ultraflow and hopefully getting it installed tomorrow. Hopefully it sounds and performs as well as the super 44 did with less rot. Hopefully you wont have the same results as I did. Oh an grats on the muffler/bday. :JEEPIN:
