Ok.. this exhaust does sound pretty cool. I like how it is a straight pipe all tucked up in the frame. Anyone out there get it and regret it.
i've had this exhaust installed for about 500 miles, its a little quieter than i hoped for, but it sounds really good above 3K (i have a manual trans). I felt that with it being half the price of the non resonated tread catback, this one was the way to go, however i was kinda shocked at how much quieter it seems from AWE's youtube videos compared to the non res tread catback.

they do say that it takes about 1,000 miles to break in, im only about halfway through that. the tone is really nice, just nothing special at idle/rolling through the neighborhood.

do NOT follow their torque advice for the OEM ball style clamp/bolt that you have to re use. its the clamp that connects the awe catback to the factory system after the cats/loop pipe. I broke that bolt, and with how weird that clamp is, i couldnt get a seal using a bolt from a hardware store. i had to order a new clamp through mopar that came with the bolt, $50 later. just snug it up with a standard ratchet

I put the 37s on. My Clayton's lift isn't coming for a few more weeks but I didn't want the tires just sitting around. 37 KM3s on Venomrex 501s.

I’ll regear in the near future. I’m going to drive it then decide on the ratio. It’s an MT, I’m leaning toward 5.38s as I’d rather go too low than too high.

No rubbing lock to lock.

I unfortunately found myself having to actually use my Jeep as a Jeep to get out to the LZ, so had nearly 100 miles of off-road use and got very dirty a few days ago. So today I finally had a chance to clean her up. I also lowered the tires to the recommended pressures on the door sticker, rides so much better. Also drove around with the top opened back for a bit and rolled just over 1,000 miles on the odometer. Dropping the tires from 47 front, 46 rear to 37 all around made a huge difference and surprised the dealer didn't correct the tire pressure during PDI.

I just left the powder coat shop with black Reid knuckles and Rigid 360 brackets for the 6" driving and 4" spots! Went with a semi-gloss black for the Reid knuckles and a flat fine-texture coating for the Rigid light mounts which is a pretty decent match for the Warn Elite bumper. Finally have all the parts to install the Mopar UD44 w/4.88's and my off road lights...Now just have to carve out time, been super busy plus just wrapping up our fiscal year end-RPITA. Likely will have to wait till next weekend...

I wish Reid would offer black-I asked and they said no. Overall, powder coat came out well.

Love the Rigid 360's but for the price they could have included black powder coated brackets instead of bare stainless...
