 Excellent! April 6, 2010
Christopher Pelosi (NJ)
I purchased this cat back system two years ago when my original exhaust was showing sign of failure. I wanted a stainless steel cat back but the high price for an old vehicle didn't make sense to me. Since the original exhaust wasn't leaking I put off the installation but I finally decided to take the plunge this past weekend.
Removal of the original exhaust was the hardest part but a sawzall and a Dremel with a cut off wheel helped. The system fit my 1999 Cherokee like a glove and I too didn't need the flange adapter that comes with the kit. Leave the clamps loose until you align everything and then tighten them down from the cat back. For extra piece of mind I pinned the muffler-to-cat and tail pipe-to-muffler connections with a stainless screw to keep things from turning or sliding off. My biggest concern is having to replace the exhaust every two years due to rust but a previous poster made it five years which sounds good to me.
The exhaust has a nice 'deep' tone to it without it being loud or obnoxious and it doesn't drone at all. The whole system comes in one large box. The muffler is in a separate box in the box and all of the clamps, a hanger/clamp, and a flange adapter are included. The tailpipe has a hanger welded on near the muffler and a chrome tip which isn't show quality but more than I expected. Be careful around the chrome tip though. the outer edge was roughly ground and rather sharp to the touch. I took care of that with my Dremel.
I am pleased with the quality for the price and it fit exactly like the original OEM exhaust with no modifications.
 Good value! March 14, 2010

Ordered this kit on 3/11/2010 from Amazon with free shipping and received it the next day--couldn't ask for better service. Plus, Dynomax has a mail-in rebate on this unit that knocks $75 off the price.
To give you an idea of the quality of these components, I installed this exact muffler and tailpipe on my Jeep Cherokee approximately 5 years/25k miles ago. About 6 months ago I started to hear the telltale sounds of a worn out muffler, plus the stainless tip on the tailpipe fell off as I was driving down the road. Eventually the connection between the tailpipe and muffler was completely rusted out and I had to replace it. I chose the Dymomax 17340 again due to its low cost, and it only took me a few hours to install. In the unlikely event that I still own this vehicle 5 years from now, I'll do it again!

A perfect fit right out of the box. Don't panic if the box has the wrong year coverage for your vehicle printed on it. Dynomax has included a couple of extra parts that you may or may not need. One is a clamp with a hanger welded to it and the other is an adapter flange that would bolt to the catalytic converter. My 2000 Cherokee didn't need either of them.
If you are doing this yourself beg, buy, borrow, steal or rent a sawzall to make things a whole lot easier. I just made a cut as close to the front of the old muffler as possible (right up against it) and removed the old exhaust in two peices. The remainder of the muffler pipe can be removed from the cat and the new Dynomax system just slips easily in to place.
Nice, simple exhaust January 31, 2010

This has been a good exhaust. It is slightly louder than stock, but not annoyingly so. Easy to put on.
Perfect cheap cat-back replacement October 29, 2009

My original muffler developed a rust hole and my car needed to be inspected so I looked for the cheapest replacement cat-back exhaust I could find. After looking at OEM replacements, stainless steel aftermarkets, and others I found this listing. This exhaust is by far the cheapest I could find and Amazon had the best deal. The exhaust is everything I could have asked for, for the money. Install was very easy and it came with everything (and more) to do the job. It fits very well and it sounds the slightest bit louder than stock. I would definitely recommend this exhaust if you are looking for a cheap replacement.
