Situation: I was leaving CVS on the way home and my Jeep suddenly went from a little loud to LOUD :eek: I climbed under it and it looked like the cat had fell onto the skid plate. I decided to hack the cat off and get a test tube and take it to the local muffler shop to weld it up. The next time I got a chance to look under the Jeep I realized that it already had a test tube and the test tube had slipped off :confused: Also, besides the stock muffler, it has a resonator or small glass pack instead of a tail pipe tip out back ???
Quandary: (1) Should I have the local shop weld the test pipe on and cut the resonator thingy off and replace it with a tip? Or, (2) :pot: Should I have the test pipe fixed and have a turn-down muffler put on that dumps after the skid plate? Would this rust out my Jeep or cause problems other than a few in cab fumes in the winter? I have herd yes and no on the rust. I like loud, but I don't want to mess anything up.

Catco converters run about $50, I'd have one installed with a new muffler. I'm getting ready to put a converter back on mine, tired of the obnoxious smell.
I ran a turn-down right behind the muffler with no problems.

Install a cat and a free flow muffler, dump it out the back and to the side to keep fumes to a minimum.

Does it sound louder inside the Jeep running it like this?
