The best recommendation is to conduct a search. The built-in search is just "ok" and sometimes it's best to use Google. As long as you include Jeep JL in your Google search, it usually directs you to one of the www.jlwranglerforums.com posts.

Ton's of great information already available: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/which-exhaust-do-you-recommend.11915/

Very happy with my Borla Type "S" in black.

I just bought this because I dented the heck out of the stock muffler.

I am looking at this exact price for my 4 door. How does it sound? Installed yet?

It’s hard to tell from the website photos, but does it increase ground clearance significantly? How is the sound compared to stock?

Arrives this weekend, will try to get it installed next week and update. Seems like it's tucked way higher to me, took a chance. Sound clips sounded decent and not too loud.

Thanks. If you could take some stock/modded pics from the same exact angle, or even ground clearance measurements that will help show how much clearance it gains.

Bought this and have it sitting in the garage waiting to be installed: https://www.borla.com/products/wrangler_jl_jlu_axleback_exhaust_touring_part__11955cb.html

I installed it today and am extremely happy. Sounds great at start and idle, no drone and actually quite quiet in the cab.

Installation could be a little easier if the pipe from the Borla was the slightest bit larger, it was a bear to get started and move it back and forth with pressure to get it fully in place. My neighbor assisted with pulling down on the exhaust pipe on the Jeep that the Borla slides onto. Used PB Blaster to lubricate the exhaust pipes, or it was never going all the way on.

Removing the hangers was relatively easy and the old muffler came out without much fuss.

I would have liked it if the dual pipes were tighter to the bottom of the bumper. But other than that, love it!

Any luck getting this installed? Pics?

Muffler delete pipe gets my vote. Why, sounds good, and has excellent clearance on trails and is $90. To hear what a delete sounds like pull the muffler. Only takes 20 minutes to loosen pipe clamp and remove the two hanger bolts. Once I did that, I ordered the delete pipe right away and never put the muffler back on.

Installed today, very impressed. It is routed above the rear sway bar (drop the bolts to rotate down for install). No need for jack stands or lift. Fit and finish looks great and it disappears from view and is very tucked. Gives a ton more clearance, both muffler body and tip. Sound wise, no different than stock cruising or highway speeds. Slightly louder when running through the gears with hard throttle. I'm very pleased and got it on sale at the afe site. Shipped fast & very well protected and came with an adhesive heat shield pad for where it is close to the cargo area. Looking at the stock setup it seems brutal - huge and pinched down badly were it goes over the axle.

Looks great! I am not sure what to do with the giant stock muffler I also removed. And it sure does have a pinch point in the pipe.
