in my experience, dynomax is all garbage. Very loud and weathers quickly.
all the bolt on stuff helps a bit but don't expect to be blown away, no matter what their write ups or ads say.

What do you mean loud? Mine's almost stock sounding and it's stainless steel dude. Just like the magnaflow. Did you get the bullet? or run a turndown cuz then it'd be crazy loud.

if drafting someone is like tailgating, I'm against it 100%.. it will get you a trip off the road if your behind me, or a taste of your steering wheel when you try to keep from hitting my hitch..  2.5L motors are not race motors, they do fine or great off road and in town.. going up hills fast isn't their forte..  you could possible seek out a 4.0L Ax15, and the works and fly up that hill a little easier..  and if your interested in doing that, I have the complete set up for you.. was going to do it to my YJ.. decided to buy an older CJ-7 for what I like to do anyway.. so, I have all this stuff in the garage..

you don't have to be like a trailer close even 1-2 car lengths behind a big rig is all you need mainly cuts the wind for ya.

not to mention I hate the drivers that your coming up on to pass and they slam the breaks on you it's more dangerous then tailgating my my opinion doing it on purpose.  usually guys like that have road rage issues and speed and tailgate you afterwords in my experience.. it's like they don't like being passed it's a insult or something  :stick:

back when people were taught how to drive, the RULE was 1 car length per 10 mph...  now running behind a semi, at probably 65 mph or more equates out to a minimum of 6 1/2 car lengths to be SAFE!...  seems each day that passes, drivers get worse!  has NOTHING to do with road rage, has to do with I DON'T LIKE HEMORRHOIDS ON MY TAILGATE..  and, if you choose to ride it, you will suffer the consequence..  so.. go ahead and neglect your safety..  I don't suppose you TEXT also?  That PISSES me off too..  Common sense should tell you to drive courteously and live..  stupidity and no value to your life tells you to do stupid things..  you choose!..

listen, you saying your slam your breaks on people because there behind you isn't save!!!  or right by any means!!

taking these matters in your own hands is the reason people die on the road.. let the authority's be the judge of that not you..

why don't you try and not use CAPS, on your 3rd post you already give lectures - the discussion was not about tailgating and to be honest i don't care what you like or dislike if you talk like this, be nice at least for 10 posts, goes a long way.

i had the super turbo or something like that dynomax exhaust. No turndown. In my experience it was super loud.. i switched to banks which was a good bit quieter. The worst part of the dynomax was any time i was accelerating over 2500rpms.
Maybe you have a different model then i did?

Ya, that's weird dude, I've never heard of anyone thinking Dynomax is too loud, Superturbo is supposed to sound stock 0_0....I have the Ultraflow and it's straight through and even that is barely as loud as a Flow 50 delta at the loudest and near stock at the quietest. Banks sound pretty wicked too though.

Just chill dude, they effective drafting range of a semi truck is over a hundred feet, no I don't think it's a particularly safe idea to draft 30ft off someones bumper at 80mph. I don't do that. However, i hope for YOUR safety you don't slam your brakes on tailgater trying to scare them  :finger: you think a tailgate "hemorrhoid" (what does that mean?) sucks, imagine how your tailgate would feel after stuffing a 4000 pound jeep into it.

not bad since my truck is over 10,000 pounds.. but that aside, lets get to something not mentioned..  the two most dangerous places on the hiway or freeway to drive are:
1. directly along side a semi.. (you'll see people pull up like their passing, then slow down along side for a long time... bad news) if that semi blows a tire, it WILL blow that car off the road!.. those tires go like dynamite!..  
2. at the rear of that semi, when it blows a tire, have you seen the tire rubble left from a blow out?  not little pieces of tire, but huge hunks that will destroy your jeep, and most likely put you in the ditch.. whether right side up, rolling, or what have you..  its not a good idea to draft a semi..  I don't even like being 8 car lengths behind one..  those tire chunks come at you real fast..  

oh, and in one of the posts I just looked at, there was a 2.5L all built up from the looks of it.. she was asking if anyone knew anything about who's it was?  anyway, looked like a nice build for a 2.5L..  if I were keeping my little 4, I'd probably go for something like that.. I've used turbo chargers in the past on my CJ-5 w/401 AMX HiPo motor..  nice for Colorado going over those mtns to get somewhere. Always wanted to try a super charger.. maybe one of these days..

I run a cherry bomb vortex muffler it's not quite strait through design it does have a deflector in it.  I like the sound of it though.. it's louder then stock but at low rpms isn't to bad.. also never been pulled over for it yet..

you can hear it on my drift vid I had I'm fairly hard in to the throttle for that run
