This isn't Fergie, this is his Dad, but I'm using his account on here. This place has a wealth of information, and wading through all of it can be a bit confusing, so I'd thought I'd give posting a try.
Here is my XJ below, with the travel trailer that I'll be towing. The first shot in the driveway is of the trailer freshly hooked up, no extra supplies or anything in the vehicle. Second shot is completely loaded for a 2 week trip.
I used to tow a Casita, and didnt have problems on grades and that sort, but this new one is bigger, and heavier, to the point that the Jeep wants to hunt for gears all the time, and is lacking power when fully loaded.
I'm looking for some bolt on power boosters, specifically on the exhaust side of things, as I already have the intake side covered.
I'm looking for an exhaust system that is NOT louder than stock, maybe just a small bit, but I don't want it sounding like Fergie's when he had the Flowmaster on it. From what I have read, the dynomax super turbos would fit the bill, but dont seem to last more than three years.
A highflow cat that will increase power is also on the list.
Mainly, I'd like the increased torque and some HP for towing the trailer, minus the in cab drone that Fergie had all the time.
So, would you suggest?
Thanks
