The Jeep Wrangler JK was released in 2007 and since then exhaust technology has changed dramatically and I was invited by the folks at Magnaflow to be apart of a project to develop a new exhaust system. In this video I take you through the process and we talk a lot about the science of exhaust systems, we see how they are made, we do some flow testing and even stick my Jeep on the dyno and see if we make any extra horsepower.

My dad grew up on a farm where they had to plow with horses. When you said only 5 horsepower I pictured my dad say, have you ever tied 5 horses to something. lol

@TrailRecon Год назад

LOL!

@user-zo8ck6kg1n Год назад

It’s interesting to note that certain breeds of horses can produce upwards of 15 hp. A human being can typically produce about one HP.

I have the MF Overland exhaust on my 2020 JL Rubicon. I’ve been very pleased with sound, added clearance and a bit of performance and no drone. It’s a great quality system.

@andrewcoil5544 2 месяца назад

I just put the axle back Magnaflow SS Street Series on my JK. It took only 40 minutes from the time I walked into my shop until I started the engine. Super easy! It sounds awesome! Very little drone when tooling down the highway at 70 mph.

@blueduster74 Год назад

Working at JBA Speed Shop in SD for several years taught me a lot on this. Jay was the original owner of JBA Exhaust so this was always a big area of interest for us. Having an engine and chassis dyno was great for seeing what losses you had from engine dyno to Chassis dyno. What styles of headers and exhaust style/sizes did. I miss that and all the cool builds of course.

Brad, super cool that you continue to evolve as you have on this platform. Working with them on an R&D project like this means they trust and believe in you and what you stand for not only personally but professionally as well. I'm only a for fun channel as stated in previous comments (jeepNdirt) but if I could one day get away from the Engineering world of manufacturing I might have a chance at creating more content and learn how enjoy this as much as you do. Great stuff brother.

Hey! My wife and I came across your channel as we were researching ways to outfit either our '23 Wrangler or '15 Ram for offroad camping. We watched your Big Bear and North Rim Grand Canyon videos of the various configs of the folks' rigs that traveled with you. Very impressive! What I'm most interested in is your connection to the Marine Corps. I noticed a 1stBn RTR flag and a CommBn flag in your garage. I was a DI at 2ndBn RTR PISC, and served on Okinawa with 7th CommBn. My wife could've sworn she heard you say "Oorah" on one of the videos we watched. As we research our outfitting options, I'm thinking this may be our "go-to" channel for ideas. Semper Fi!

@jeepinintexas6215 Год назад

Running a Afe Scorpion axle back exhaust system on my 2 door for clearance issue alone. Ut tucks up nice and high. The sound isn't the best but it's not bad. I want to try a Magnaflow muffler eventually.

@Stuka87 Год назад

I am surprised you still had a stock exhaust. I put a 3” AFE on my JK years ago and I love it. It goes in place of the resonator, no rear muffler at all. Sounds like a Nissan VR engine (GTR/370z). The tunability of the MaganaFlow setup is super cool. If you removed the resonator you would get more sound and flow. Though perhaps more drone.

@Steve-od6hi Год назад

Interesting video. I liked the flow data. I have been thinking about one of these Magnaflow exhausts for my 2016 Colorado. I upgraded to a Flowmaster Flow Fx and when I tow our small square drop, the drone can be a little rough. Bad news……1/8=.125 which is a decimal. 😂😂😂😂

@gen2-x364 Год назад

Nice video. A nice sound change...a little deeper....sounds nice. When it comes time to freshen up the motor...go through and strengthen some components then drop an Edelbrock supercharger Stage 1 system on that thing.....they claim 317 rwhp and tq gains as well. I'd probably do a cam and valve train upgrades at least.....possibly even some aftermarket heads for better flow. By far your best vehicle you own imho.

More HP would be nice, but I've just seen too many bad outcomes over the years with superchargers.

@jameseroh6544 7 месяцев назад

The thing about most dynamometers, is they measure power at wide open throttle. We drive at part throttle most of the time, if not all of the time. And fuel economy at a given speed on the highway is another comparison. So 7 months later, what is your summary of the exhaust experience?

@joeb4957 6 месяцев назад

Just ordered it for my 2012. Was trying to hear more sound clips on your later videos on the trail and noticed you put full J pipe and resonators on. Still happy with tone? Def seems quiet until you step on the gas, which is what im hoping for

@milspec_tube 6 месяцев назад

Exhaust open sounds great. I'm wondering if you also paired this with a cold air intake and an engine tuner to get any more power out of the Jeep for towing? I have a 2017 Sahara Unlimited with a 3.5" life on 37's. I'm looking to get a new travel trailer and I am a little concerned about the Jeeps ability to pull anything over 3000lbs. I saw your old Patriot Camper here in Vegas at the shop 2 days ago and I'm trying to decide between the Gen 2 or the AOR Odyssey which is around 3100 lbs dry. That hill going into the mountains just past Primm into Cali has me worried.

The stock numbers for the hp are 200 and 221 torque but they used 87 per the manual and the computer can up-tune with 91+ octane, I wonder what kind of changes would a system like this bring?
