I installed this on a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee....
1)I welded this to a piece of extension pipe. I removed a layer of metal (whether from the galvinization of aluminization) before i welded it and it welded quite nicely.
2) I had to "flare" one end with a tail pipe expander and it worked out quite nicely. The inlet/outlet is not some cheap, thin metal so it did require some effort to do this.
3) The dimensions were exact which made installation a cinch.
4) When i start the truck it has a nice grumble to its idle. sounds like a dodge.
5) when i accelerate slowly you do not hear it as much because it is in a higher gear.
6) when i punch the gas you hear a nice throaty growl.

Used on 99 chevy tahoe 5.7 vortec.Only installed a short time. They seem to be well made, but much more quiet than I had expected. At idle that are minivan quiet. Under quick throttle they sound a little grumble in a good way. And they cackle nice when u back off the throttle quickly. I personally would prefer a more aggressive sound. Have not had them long enough to tell u anymore.

Comments about Thrush Turbo Muffler:
I bought this thrush turbo muffler for my 1989 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4 with the Renix 4.0L straight six engine. The exhaust was junk so I decided to make a new one. I cut the exhaust out and used it with open headers for 2 weeks. It was VERY loud and illegal so I decided to get a muffler. This was the cheapest muffler in the store so I bought it and installed it. It is VERY quiet, I personally don't like how quiet it is but I just got used to the amazing open headers sound. However its much better than stock and added power and torque, sounds nice but the jeep drives better than it ever has while i owned it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Thrush Turbo Muffler:
I have now installed two of these onto Jeep Cherokees with the 4.0 i6 in the "reverse" setup (centered inlet and offset outlet) and both times it was in stock at my local Advance store. The first was a 2000 model Jeep Cherokee and it was installed post catalytic converter with a turn-down, installed in this manner it had a nice grumble at lower rpm's but got raspy at higher rpm's; this setup also led to a pretty bad drone inside the vehicle at highway speeds (70-75mph at around 2500 rpm's) The second one was installed into a 2001 model Jeep Cherokee after a high-flow catalytic converter with a full tailpipe to replace the rusted out stock system that was there. This one hasn't yet been completely broken in (only about a hundred miles on the setup) but so far so good. With the full tailpipe the muffler has a slight grumble at idle and sounds good and grumbles when revving up the engine but it is not overly loud, and is not too loud from the interior of the vehicle, nor does it lead to a droning at highway speeds (once again 70-75mph at around 2500 rpm's) The sound in and of its self is only slightly louder than a stock setup but when paired with a high flowing catalytic converter it gives a decent seat-of-the-pants dyno increase.

Comments about Thrush Turbo Muffler:
I installed this on my 2001 F150 V-6.It gave it alittle more sound.I just wish it had been alittle louder.I had to use to 18" pipes to make the fit as you can see in the pics.All in all very good for the money an very easy to install. It took me about 2 hours total from hack sawing the old stuff out to starting it up to hear what it sounded like.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Thrush Turbo Muffler:
Just put this muffler on my girlfriends '96 Jeep Cherokee. It sounds better than the stock muffler, was easy to install with just a 6 inch bit of tubing added, and it was cheap! very very suprised.
