That's one of the reasons why I'm looking at this for my exhaust needs.
Price, value, perfection, nobody even comes close. Ok, maybe they come close. JMHO.
Flowmaster 817837 2.5" American Thunder Axel Back System for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with 3.6L $119.97 at Quadratech.

I ordered the Flowmaster 817837 today. Ill toss up video ect once i get it and install it next week.
I'm curious about this as well. I've seen one mention of either this flowmaster or a design that's similar needing to have the rear sway bar relocated down using a spacer. Please let us know how it goes.

The hooker exhaust option has a rsb relo in the kit and instructions. This one does not for some reason. Ill include all the details on install ect in this thread when I get it one.

Yeah I’m trying to figure out where it comes out underneath? Hopefully not under the bumper..

Yeah--if you have to doit on the garage floor, it's tougher, but that's the way I did mine--

Loosen the exhaust pipe clamp first(13mm socket,1' extension)--mine was spot welded on the muffler pipe, so don't worry about removing it--

Spray some WD-40 on the RUBBER muffler mounts(2) and pry them IN to remove, you may want a jack stand under the muffler to keep from warping the exhaust pipe conn.--

Jiggle(twist) the stocker off--

Now if you want the SS TURBO to be easily visible from the rear--put the RUBBER mounts back on the NEW muffler and slip the exhaust pipe on the JL pipe first(don't forget the NEW clamp)--

I love SS, but I wasn't crazy about the muffler being so visible and subject to rocks/debris, so I installed mine with two SS 1-1/2" HOSE clamps--easy job-

Now I don't drive mine on the freeway, so I can't hear/feel any vibration/noise from the mounting without the RUBBER mounts-

This TURBO works for me because I run the RUBY "TOPLESS' and my wife doesn't care for exhaust NOISE--I have a FLOWMASTER "10" on my RAM and ILOVE THAT SOUND-

Good luck

JIMBO

You might want to use a CROW BAR to pry those RUBBER MOUNTS LOOSE, they're not hard to remove, but the CROW BAR will give some easy fulcrum power to :"PRY"--

You have a great weekend also-

I just un bolted the hangers. It was way easier.

If you look up by the hangers there are two bolts now. 13mm I believe. Super quick and easy

Just installed the Dynomax! About 45 min. I love it! Looks great and the sound is just enough!
