Also if anyone has any advise on exhaust mods.

I would hold off on the exhaust until prodigy tells us who they prefer, as anyone can bend pipe, all exhausts are not created equal.Originally Posted by AGOM
i have this on my jeep: Dynomax® Ultra Flo Evolution Competition Cat-Back Exhaust in Stainless Steel. I had it before i installed the turbo system. I like it and it sounds great. Eddie from Wayalife has a video of his Jeep (Rubicat) with a view from inside as well as outside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPe0O9TPfj4
There was also some talk about Prodigy getting a cat-back exhaust system custom designed for use with their turbo kit.
I'm quite happy with the turbo and stock exhaust combination. During normal gentle driving and steady cruising, there are no sounds that would cause anyone to suspect that my Jeep has any performance mods.
That is also a good point U.P, but any compromise on performance?
No one knows. Someone would have to do dyno comparisons of different exhaust systems on a turbo jeep (same jeep, same dyno).
JL did a piece years ago on the AFE setup. before and after intake install, before and after exhaust install.
If i remember right, there was only a nominal change.
The sound changed a lot, there was not a real power increase. The AFE intake was fantastic. The exhaust, and all exhausts Ive seen and driven have been more noise than power.
BB wears her stock exhaust currently. I've had other exhausts on, but i like the stock unit's tone. I want to hear the SC whistle and the Pentastar sing. Thats music, putting an exhaust on drowns that out. Are there good ones out there? I'm sure there are.
I like the idea of keeping it stock, because i am not one for drown or more noise.
So if its not making a noticeable gain in performance than the sound of the turbo to me is more tempting.
Turbo sounds are cool
The turbo itself is quiet. Don't expect to hear the turbo spool up and whistle like a turbo diesel truck or bus. It's the sounds of exhaust flowing through the wastegate and pressurized air exiting through the BOV that you will hear.
The sound of the BOV is causing me to shift gears later than usual just so I can hear it. I'm not sure I'll ever get tired of hearing it. I hope I thoroughly confuse someone at some point that hears the BOV as I drive by and looks around trying to find the turbo car that made the sound.
