„It’s your predetermined destiny to start the engine without a muffler on it” nailed it

I have a $40 thrush rattler muffler on my xj, it sounds MEAN, i love it🤘🏻😎

I have a wicked flow and a cracked manifold ! Sounds awesome

Ayy new video! haha could not be better timed lol, recently got a nice squeaking noise whenever the exhaust got hot, had a hanger crack. Took me a two weeks to find the darn thing, was the one right above the cross member but at some point i gotta replace everything as each one is gonnna start going soon knowing my luck. You are making quite the library of videos, once i get a garage swear you will be playing in the background of a lot of projects at this point, keep up the good work man, keep trucking!

possible video idea: how to identify model years of xj's from exterior details

well do I have a surprise for you.... next video is gonna be an absolutely legendary tale

always like watching your videos ...and appreciate the humor. thank you

Very nice!

Sounds great!

good video, bro - I have the FM Super 44 installed which sounds a bit different on my 1998 XJ with a Magnaflow high flow cat - more raw, throaty, raucous - lovin it !

Nice video! I think that the 2 piece exhaust manifold used on '00 and '01 model years gives the 4.0 engine a distinctive sound over the previous one piece manifold.

Great work.

I'm more of a Magnaflow man myself,but it did sound pretty good.😁👍👍

I'm not sure if I've ever heard a Magnaflow in person, I shall seek fortune there

There must be something wrong with your XJ. No check engine light. Bulb must be burnt out.

Why did you do this to me. Now i need a flowmaster

I just replaced my muffler and reused the tailpipe. Some new clamps and a little elbow grease I was there for 60ish bucks.

Excellent! I suppose I could have reused my Tailpipe, but it was original, so I figured why not make it new and shiny

@@WAEMIDIV absolutely. I should have replaced rather than reuse but it was only a little crusty at the end so I saved the money. I had to replace my water pump at the same time so it was a twofer job…

I was thinking of biting the bullet on a new muffler, and this is exactly what I need. Why do you have good timing

Did you do a wiring harness for the new rear hitch?

Yes, but that happened a long time ago. I routed it under the cargo area trim and it comes out next to the latch for the liftgate, so it stays inside when not in use, and when I do need it, I just route it outside through the weatherstripping with the liftgate closed over it

2:14 how do you get this bracket off? I’ve tried so hard and it won’t come off. the previous owner of my jeep took off that rubber hanging piece and welded the hanger straight to the bracket. I’m looking to replace the muffler though and need to drop the tailpipe in order to do that. thanks!

sounds like there's been some custom work that will require custom solutions. The bracket is held to the frame by 2 bolts, I broke one of mine.
