I want a winch bumper and a new rear bumper for my Rubi, and probably some sort of exhaust.

Honest question (I’ve never owned a Wrangler, but did have a Raptor): Can you make a Wrangler sound good with an aftermarket exhaust? Being a V6, I’m imagining an aftermarket exhaust sounding like those souped up street racers with the ridiculous wheel camber, which I would not like at all.

Can you get anywhere in the range of a deep, throaty gurgle like with a V8? (Raptor sounded Bad Ass - would love to get my new JL sounding good.)

More about I feel the aftermarket will eventually make an exhaust that tucks up under better. Also about the bumpers, I know I could get the factory steel kit, but I think in time the aftermarket will have some nice looking customs.

No, most JK exhausts give you a raspy V6 tone. It won't get anywhere near a V8 sound. The new Gen 6 Camaro with the active exhaust sounds pretty good. I haven't heard any JK exhaust that sounds even close. I had the Borla and wasn't happy on my 3.8L JK. Too "ricer" not deep enough.
