I have a 2024 2.0 auto with axleback quadratec exhaust. Im thinking of deleting the resonator or putting high flow resonator. How would each sound?

I did the MBRP straight pipe muffler delete. Yes, it still sounds like a sewing machine to me but I heard it driving away the other day as my wife was driving the jeep and it sounded pretty darn good.

IMO, don't do a 2.0 exhaust for sound. Clearance and reduced weight, again IMO, ought to be the main drivers as they're what you really gain by deleting the muffler and resonator. Here's what my 2.0 sounds like with a Magnaflow Rock Crawler exhaust - which is pretty much just a small muffler and no resonator. You do knock a good chunk of weight off by dropping the muffler and res.

Search the internet for soundbites of straight pipe and aftermarket exhaust. Straight pipe sound is fairly consistent ... not many variables. The sound when eliminating the stock muffler, and replacing the stock resonator with a high flow muffler/resonator, varies a lot. It depends on the muffler/resonator used (e.g. chambered, perforated glass pack, etc...). Magnaflow, Borla, Flowmaster ... all sound different.

When I hear a 2.0 with an aftermarket exhaust, I find myself looking for some kind of small tuner car, not a Jeep.

But, hey, you’ll get 5-10 more HP at 6500 RPMs. :clap:

About like mine with the Borla cat back crawler exhaust. The Stellantis/Fiat 2.0 is probably the only engine on earth that even Borla can't improve the sound on. But like you pointed out, it saves a little weight, but so does dieting. The clearance improvement is undeniable. I have thought about having a local muffler shop replace the muffler/resonator combo but it would be a crap shoot of sorts.

That'd be a hell of a trick seeing as the 2.0 redlines well before 6500 :bandit:

But yeah, the 2.0 (and, IMO, most turbo engines) is not benefitted in the sound department by an exhaust. Really, being a Jeep, the big benefits are reduced weight (especially behind the axle) and the clearance it opens up under the back of the tub.
