exhaust system

[blackforce5]

so today i was checking clearences for my custom exhuast im doing, and decided to unbbolt the mufller and back pipe so i had a striaght shot right after the cats... haha it was loud and sounded way mean...

anyways, im doing a 3 inch exhaust into a flowmater muffler, then two 3 inch pipes comin out that mullfer and back over where the stock one ran, and then dual pipes out the back with cut outs in the bumper along with stanless tips to make it all look flush and kind of stock...

i should be doing this mod by the end of the month... its gonne be awsome

[blackattack182]

That's going to look sick, dude. Have you done any Photoshops of the exhaust, what you think it's going to look like? Also, have you already dropped the spare tire or are you going to make a maze of pipes?

This thing is going to sound badass. Make sure you get a quality recorder!

You should pick up a bumper like this one. It's made by Decoma. I have no idea how you would get in touch with them... They have a website, but I don't know where the auto parts section is.

[blackforce5]

ya im definatly dropping out the spare, im not sure if i like this bumper or not.. i think it will look better just to cut mine and have the tips flush and not sticking out too much ya know?
Blackattack me and you kinda have the same taste's haha i like that its tight, ya i will for sure get some soud clips up!

[blackforce5]

i might do that spoiler now that i see it on this jeep, looks kinda cool

[blackattack182]

THAT spoiler is the business. The Mopar one is a joke in comparison.

Yeah, definitely similar tastes. The flush look (dare I say similar to the Hyundai Tucson?) is really nice, especially if you pick a sweet oval tip.

Check out the extension on this Decoma spoiler:

I actually contacted Decoma about these parts. Here is their response.

"I can direct you to your local dealership who can issue a purchase order to
the appropriate supplier for a dealer-direct shipment.

Thank you for contacting us through: info@decoma.com"

I guess you can only order these direct from your dealer. Not too sure how many would be receptive given they all sell Mopar accessories. Have been thinking about contacting Peter at Justforjeeps but haven't done so yet. I'm really interested in the Decoma spoiler over Mopar's.

[blackattack182]

The spoiler isn't the first thing I'd grab... I'd ask which House of Kolors paint they went with. Second, I'd want to know about their grille, and finally the rear bumper. Then the spoiler.

[blackforce5]

thats not the mopar spoiler?

[Street LX]

^ no.

and that rear numper looks like ass. no thanks i don't wanna see my muffler when looking at the rear of the car.

[blackforce5]

i tottaly agree with you on that bumper, it looks like shit, thats why i said im gonna just cut mine cuz it will look better, who makes that spoiler up there? the mopar one is like 280 bucks thats bss

[Street LX]

i think decoma makes it but you can only buy it thru a dealership. call your local one up and ask them. hopefully you can get it. let us know too, i want one!

i cant wait to see ur exhaust by the way

[blackforce5]

ya man, im super stoked in it, its gonna be BAD ASS!! alsot gonna cost me about 600 bones... but it will be well worth it, im just waiting to see if i can get outta my ticket, cuz the fine might be as much as my exhuast sooo as soon as i can it will be done

[blackforce5]

so this is what the back of my jeep looks like right now all tinted out...

and this is my shitty photoshop job of what the exhuast will kinda look like, just so u can get a feel for where the tips are gonna come out

[blackattack182]

Whatever got blanked out, you nailed it. That's a poor job, but leads the mind in the imagination direction. Should look sweet, especially since you're beating all the aftermarket companies to the punch.

That's not the muffler showing in the pic with the bumper, that's just a piece of the rollpan so you DON'T see the muffler. That would probably look pretty cool. Those tips wouldn't have to stick out that far, either. Lop an inch or two off those pipes and pull them back in, and that would be a sick looking setup.

[blackforce5]

ya it will look good, il have the tips stick out no more than 1cm from the bumper. so there almost completly flush with it

[Street LX]

looks good blackforce... i cant wait to see

[FlyinLo]

That'll be a very nice exhaust setup.

One request: can we get some real pics of your Jeep that aren't photoshopped to look dark or old-fashioned?

[blackforce5]

that one on that back isnt photoshoped at all, the one with the tips is, the color is off on the tip ones cuz i made the tips more silver cuz they were gold lookin,... but the top one has nothing done to it at all

[blackforce5]

that pic is really how dark my back end is, no lie, nothing has been done to that pic at all

[FlyinLo]

Right I heard ya the first time... and I understand your Jeep is black but the pictures were taken with very bad lighting.

It looks like its after sunset, you can't tell the difference between tailgate, bumper & ground.

[blackforce5]

il get another one up soon

[blackforce5]

here ya go, this is with a plate tint thats a few shades lighter i put on yesterday, cuz i dont wanna risk gettin pulled over till this other ticket clears... then i will put the darker one back on...

[blackattack182]

How much is a plate cover like that? I would like to pick up a pair of them to continue the black trend.

[blackforce5]

shit u could make one, i have a friend that makes these outta all different shades of black.. all it is is black plexi... just cut it to size and round the corners... drill some holes ur ready to go

[FlyinLo]

182, they sell those at auto parts stores or walmart. Online too, obviously...

When I first got the Jeep I asked a cop about plate covers and he said ANY obstruction was illegal. Guess that's technically the NH law, but I think I might be able to get away with one until a cop having a bad day drives behind me.

[blackattack182]

If I get in trouble for any kind of tinting thing, I would have it stripped and/or removed on the spot, if possible. If I get the headlight covers, I would pop them off immediately. If I got the tint ticketed, I would see how much the ticket is before I rip that off, but I would take care of it. As for the plate covers, I'm going to get a screwdriver set for the Jeep and I will remove the cover with the cop's supervision if there was a problem. Hopefully my willingless would buy me me points (or save me from points, whichever is the good one).

[Street LX]

i just bought a smoked plate cover at autozone... it was like $5 and looks good!

[FlyinLo]

I think I may pick one up too, my chrome one is starting to show it's age.

[blackattack182]

I'm going to look into some covers too. I don't know if I want to try to make one if they are so cheap from Auto Zone.

[FlyinLo]

Yeah, I'm not sure where you would buy black plexiglass either. I've only seen clear stuff at Home Depot.

[01GrandCherokeeWJ]

yea, best time for taken pics of your ride is around 11-1pm cuz the sun really lights everything up

***Just a little tip for ya***

[Street LX]

is the exhaust a no go since you might be getting an srt8 now?

[blackforce5]

haha ya

[TheBackRoads]

Damn the SRT8 would be insane nice. You might have to make a trip to MN since iv never seen one in real life. :pablo:

[blackattack182]

I guess that's the downfall of living in those "back roads."

There was one in the parking lot at work the other day... Those damn valet parking kids get to drive some nice whips.

[TheBackRoads]

Yea because the suburbs are the "backroads":witstupid:

That blue GC was donated to my body shop at school Washtenaw community college in ann arbor, michigan. I am in their Custom cars and concepts program. The GC is so beat up now its sad if you saw it now the paint is chipped off with dents and scratches all over we use it for remove and install demos so the front clip just hangs on. Check out some of our work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPtefSc7jys

[Three Oh Diesel]

That Magnum video you posted was amazing. :) -Still would like to know where the 60hp came from. LOL

[BlackJeep24]

i like the startech rear bumper with that exhaust.

[Three Oh Diesel]

^I agree, but if you look really close they appear to be stick-on fascia. That combined with the outrageous price turned me off... You're right though, it's a great look.

As I understand it, the WK2 (new WK Jeep) will have an optional dual-exit exhaust which will look something like this.

[BlackJeep24]

i love the new WK Jeep. it has sick options. i just wish i had the $ to buy one when it comes out
