No I meant there looks like 4 options for how the J pipe comes off and the endcap to adjust sound. do you have it on the quietest?
Yea I have the chamber deal off the end of the muffler. I can do a capped video later where the extra chamber is eliminated. It's supposed to be a bit louder. But that's off the back end of the muffler. I was confused about about question, my bad.

Here is my 2.3L Manual with magnaflow "overland" exhaust. It is the higher ground clearance option.

Tone is good, volume is good, no drone, and a few more inches of clearance as this dumps under body at the bottom rear bumper instead of extending down below it.

Definitely think the 2.3 is way too quiet with the stock exhaust. This wakes it up nicely without being annoying inside or outside. Not sure on weight as mine is already installed, but the muffler is much smaller than factory at least. Packaging is very well done.

Thank Gawd! The stock 2.3 is pathetic sounding.

Watching that, I realized MY brake squeak has apparently FINALLY gone away. Drove me nuts for awhile.
Took 5k miles, lol.

Borla and ford performance are the same. Ford just licensed borla exhausts as ford performance. Neither is available at this moment. Borla will have 6 total options available.

Rofl. Yea except if you noticed, my license plate flew off. I forgot to take it off before I hit. Have to go back n find it now lol

I have the license plate stuck on with magnets so I can take it off when I'm offroading and shit. But it also has yeeted itself off the front a couple times going through water and mud puddles when I forgot to remove it.

Magnet attachment system...that's rad. Even more rad is having to go scuba diving to find it after it projectiles itself!!!

Pulled the trigger on the MBRP cat-back system this morning, in stock and Canadian.

I'll get some sound videos recorded and post them up once I get it installed, hopefully in the next week or so.

Edit: Never mind not in stock, website was wrong... Hope to see mid-February.


Edit 2: Got one coming in from @Stage 3 Motorsports actually! Shout out to Ryan for getting my ordered processed over the phone to ship to Canada, super easy and fast! Should be in late next week or the following week, can't wait to get it on my Bronco 🤞

Here’s a quick vid of the Magnaflow street axle-back system. Easy DIY, took me 30 minutes. Sounds great at start up and idle, not much difference in the cab at speed. I’m about a week away from a 2.5” leveling kit and 35’s getting installed, so the clearance wasn’t an issue, and I like the look of the tips.

I got the MBRP installed. It’s probably the quietest aftermarket exhaust I’ve ever owned. It’s a deeper sound with a bit of drone under 2k rpms but overall still relatively quiet. It’s not my favorite exhaust note and knowing now I wish I’d just have tried deleting the muffler first on the cheap just to see what it sounded like.
