Anyone running the Hooker Blackheart muffler?

Shout out to @River City Offroad again, he is so awesome he actually matched Northridge and even lower price.

I recommend whoever is on the fence between aFe and hooker because of cost factor, check with Marcus and he will not let you down! Actually check with Marcus on anything Jeep you plan to order.

I lucked out and ordered when Northridge had it on sale at $338 + 10% off coupon and free shipping.

Awesome, do you have more pics on how high it tuck away the exhaust? Did you put on the heatshield? I don't understand why it need more heatshield, since it is barely a mini version of the factory muffler.

Not the best shots, just grabbed some quick while I was running around. The heatshield is minimal.. maybe a 12in square peice of fabric heat shielding with adhesive on the back. nothing crazy, I just added it to the area where the can was closest to the body.. can't hurt.

What’s the difference between the dual tip and single Blackheart High Tuck? Number of tips? Anyone know?

My guess on the reason for AFE's added heatshield...based on pics by @SDot , it looks like the AFE exhaust pipe exiting from the muffler is noticeably shorter than the stock exhaust pipe(and the hooker) With the exhaust exiting earlier before the rear bumper, it would allow more of the exhaust/heat to remain under the jeep rather than exiting out past the bumper. Thoughts?

Looks really nice, this should be what Jeep coming out of factory instead of that big fat whale can.

Cool. I think at the time I was buying they were out of stock or didn't carry it yet.

Sounds like you got a bangin deal on your hooker. $400 for the AFE is silly for what it is..

That was my thought too. The AFE is a little smaller but it was going to be like $200 difference all said and done and I wasn't down with that.
