XJ Saga,

thanks for your input, I never heard of carsound... where ya get it and how much? As for the muffler... what company? I have used Flowmasters before when I had my 5.0L mustang, so I am familiar with them. Any other company specializes in XJ's exhaust or just stick with name brands?

XJ Saga,

thanks for your input, I never heard of carsound... where ya get it and how much? As for the muffler... what company? I have used Flowmasters before when I had my 5.0L mustang, so I am familiar with them. Any other company specializes in XJ's exhaust or just stick with name brands?

Carsound makes high flow catalytic convertors for just about every car including our XJ's. Many online and well known performance sites sell them as does Kolak on the JU forum, also you can get them on ebay too. As for the muffler Flowmaster's are very good, Gibson, Borla, and Banks are all equally on par

Regarding my previous post, I meant to say that the stock cat is the same as a V8 ZJ, it sort of sounded as if I meant the carsound cat.

Yep, I do believe carsound had the big sale going on ebay for $40. No tracktime yet, just 0-60 runs and 60ft times. Consistent mid to hi sixes 0-60, and 2.1 60ft, I'm pacing myself

Keep us posted if you go to the track

Don't forget the MagnaFlow Performance mufflers they are completely flow through and sound great. they have 14" and 18" for the xj. I just installed the 18" five days ago with 2.5" cat back pipeing and i'm getting deep,rich tones at idle and lower speeds and at highway speeds its almost invisible. cost was $100.00 installed. Also go to www.go.jeep-xj.info/ for more info on exhaust tech. worth considering. Good luck, AZGOLDXJ.

Alright, let me get this straight because I'm still a little unsure. I was planning on replacing my cat and muffler soon. So it's not necessary for me to replace the cat on my 2001 XJ with a highflow cat? So I can just replace the muffler w/ another highflow version and that should be enough? Is this right? Thanks for the clarification.

I've confirmed for myself that a highflow cat is well worth your time/money even for 01's. I say go for it.

You can get highflow cats off of ebay for 40ish.
