Pics of Exhaust systems?

I am looking at the Gibson Cat-Back for my 01 XJ Sport. I am leary of the huge can and would like to see a picture of one installed and how far it hangs down.

Any one have the Borla for the new Cherokee? I have done a few searches and found some good info, just worried about the fit.

Thank you,

Curtis
 
I've been running this cat back for a few years. I don't like the tube design either as it extends all the way the rear sway bar. The only reason I'm still using it is I couldn't find a 304 stainless that fix with my lift. The Borla system system looked great but hit my rear spring pack..

Anyway, I'll see if I shoot a few shots and post..

I have the Gibson cat-back and the Borla header on my 97. The Gibson works well so far. I had some issues with the tailpipe hitting the bolt for the spring/shackle and my hitch but I took it to a muffler shop and they welded me on a new hanger that fixed that problem for the most part (every once in a while it will vibrate for a second like it hit the spring pack bolt). I just put the Borla on a few days ago so I haven't flexed yet to see if there is any problems with the front DS. I am going to go out on Sunday and I'll let you know then.
 
I love the Gibson.
Nothing sounds like it, period.
The can is big,but enough rocks will make it look like a Flowmaster, kinda.
As for shackle and hitch interference, stick a pry bar in the tailpipe and put it where you want it.
Cut off what you don't need.
HTH.

Were you able to get any pictures?
 
i dont have any pics but i do have the borla cat-back on my 97. It fitted fine stock and still fits fine lifted.(RE3.5) looks like it would hit the rear shackle if i had an extended one though. nice piece but pricey.

Crazy, I apologize; I forgot to snap photos last weekend. I get home until after dark during the week, so I'll have to wait until the weekend again. Again, I apologize.
