On a shift to second the other day the Jeep got loud fast. Upon inspection a fist sized hole blew out the side of my muffler. It's a pretty rusty old thing so this has been expected for some time.
This is my daily driver and road trip car so quiet is key. Don't know what brands to look for in a reasonably priced muffler.
Best way to attach that into the system? Just buy a few double females and tack weld it in? I've only cobbled together racecar sidepipes in the past.
My top recommendation is whatever factory replacement you can get easily from a parts store. My other recommendation is take it to a muffler shop, tell them you want to make zero noise.
The only thing I know about aftermarket mufflers is which ones are best at making noise.
Reasonably priced? Magnaflow or Flowmaster.
Really good? Solo. Not too expensive, either.
I liked the Dynamax Ultra Flow SS setup on my Mustang. Hooker Aerochambers sound nice in Youtube videos.
If you want quiet look up the Walker oem equivalent.

I feel like this thread is people recommending progressively louder and louder mufflers until we reach "just straight pipe it, I'm legally deaf and it seems quiet to me"
I'm interested as well- just want a Duratec 2.0 as quiet as possible. How are the vibrant mufflers/resonators?
Superturbos are quiet, longer muffler case is quieter, but, I think resonance is a problem with most aftermarket units.
I quickly pulled the trigger on a Walker OEM. Having one that "theoretically" bolts in place is attractive and the factory sound was plenty quiet.
I can't be more pleased with this purchase. Within 60 minutes I had cut off the old muffler, ground the the pipe clean and welded in the new muffler. Fit perfectly. Went for a drive and the Jeep is quieter than it's been in my 50000 miles of ownership.

hard to beat the walker OEM for quiet
