Info on Quiet Exhaust I'm finding tons of info on what sounds good on camaros and such, but most are recommending cat back systems that obviously won't apply to a conversion into my Jeep Wrangler.
So far, I found out that I have to do some shorty headers. I live in Colorado, and we do get pipe checked at emissions, so I have to run Cats. I've seen recommendations for Magnaflow cats, so i'll probably use those.
I'm pretty sure I want to run true duals because of the sweet sound, but I'm still trying to pick out mufflers.
I figure since I'm probably never going over 400hp, I'll probably run 2.5" pipe with an H pipe.
The jeep won't have any carpet in it, and I run a soft top, so I don't want the exhaust to be too loud. I figured running true duals would be a good way to make sure I can make it nice and quiet but not too restrictive. I do still want it to have a nice mean deep sound w/o any rasp. I don't need to to be any quieter than a stock camaro, I just don't want it loud!
Can you please recommend some mufflers and advise me if any of my selections so far don't make sense.

DynoMax UltraFlows sounds really nice. You basically want the biggest mufflers you can fit. No FLowMasters please. I have some big MadnaFlows on my RX7 with shorty headers and x-pipe in 2.5". Its mellow. Here is a link to a couple of videos at the track. YOu can barely hear my car.

Alot of times, you can select the muffler manufacturer for the catback, and buy their muffler by itself.. (IE Borla, magnaflow, etc..) I'll be buying some sweet thunder bullet mufflers.. theyr'e chambered straight through design, quite loud and very very deep.

Thumper,
I was able to use the stock 6.0 truck manifolds in my YJ. The driver side was fine, the passenger side had to be slightly clearanced with a torch and hammer to clear part of the motor mount that I pieced together. Took all of 5 minutes. If you get some mounts from AA, you may not need to clearance anything.
Can't offer any advice on the mufflers, I'm using cheapo turbos, not too loud.
