The build/re-build of Gruff

new exhaust install

Finally got my butt in gear and did my new exhaust this past weekend. Really easy install. Well, except for the fight I got into with one of those rubber isolator mounts trying to get the little bastard to let go of the muffler.
After 20 minutes of inventing new cuss words it finally dawned on me that I didn't need to keep it. Duhr. It succumbed to a sawzall assault :D
Anyhoo, not a bunch of pics - pretty strait forward and boring exhaust.


I did end up not using the exhaust tip in this pic though. First it didn't fit the clamp I bought and second, it sounded absolutely retarded. It gave it a stupid burbly sound - I made a u-turn at the end of my driveway & took it off.
Must have been the increase in size from 2-/-1/2" to 3" that did it. :icon_crazy: I ended up with just a regular 2-1/2 elbow and it sounds great.

Nice you got the exhaust done. Good luck with the long arm. Are you doing it yourself?

Being that these LA kits can be either bolt-on or welded, I was originally going to install as a bolt-in and then have them welded on later. But I got a window that opened up that I can get them welded on in a couple weeks
so I'm gonna just go that route and be done with it. The guy that is installing is awesome. He's on here as Shopteach & Piginajeep sent me his way. :thumb:

So jealous of the long arms, I almost ordered them the other day but the install is keeping me from pulling the trigger on it.

Yeah, I looked over a couple threads here where guys did the install themselves. It looks like a good DIY project for over the winter maybe since its a pretty involved process, but I got the window in two weeks so I figured what the hell.

Thanks and me too! I'm doing this primarily to help with on-road handling as we're looking at travel trailers. Wife is skittish about driving the Jeep in the first place so anything I can do
to help our the handling so she can drive more will help on long trips.

I was really looking forward to doing this late Fall/Early Winter but now that it's less 2 weeks away I can't wait. I'm really looking forward to see how different it really is!
