"The system came quickly and it was easy enough to install. I didn't have to cut the old system off as per directions. I think that due to the fact I had the truck up on 1ft. high ramps. I do have a suggestion for the manufacture of the exhaust system. Either extend the pipes from the muffler at least 1" on each end or make the exhaust pipes connecting to the muffler at least 1" longer so that the hanger at the rear tail pipe will line up with the stock hanger. This will omit the need for the rear clamp with the hanger pin welded to it. A cleaner looking job will result.This is not a problem if the system is welded at a muffler shop (Which I had done) because they were able to slide the pipe back far enough to line it up with the hanger and weld the pipes together, omitting the clamps. It looks factory and neat. Nice throaty sound but not too loud. Don't know if MPG increased yet because I haven't filled up since installation. Overall satisified and good value for the system."

"YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THE INCREASED TORQUE. BUT THERE'S AN ANNOYING DRONE IN THE LOWER RPM, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL. OTHER THAN THAT IT'S A GOOD EXHAUST SYSTEM."

JBA Exhaust Sounds Great - 2008 V6 4x4 Nissan Frontier

"Installed along with JBA Headers. Sound is great. Installation for the exhaust was very simple. Can't say the same for the headers, but I worked through it. Exhaust has a very tight fit and feels very secure. Didn't get any tack welds afterwards, but I guess time will tell if I need the additional welds. Don't notice to much of a difference idling, but once you step on it, you can really tell the difference. Not too loud, but you could still hear it while driving on the highway. Recommend Highly"

Probably Not the Right One For Me

"When I got home the boxes were on the porch. I had ordered an intake as well as the exhaust. First thing that I noticed was that the exhaust box was partially ripped open at one end. When I checked the parts list I was relieved to see that all of the parts were still in the box but the forward end of one of the tail sections of pipe had been mildly crushed so as to take it out of round. Another thing that I noticed was that one of the mufflers was sort of twisted and the other seemed to lay flat. The tolerances were tight, very nice, but it did make it a little harder to install in such tight spaces. When installation was complete I started the car and was very happy with the sound, deep, throaty, a little louder...nice! Now that I have driven it for a few days, I realized that I may have made a mistake. Though the power increase was instantly noticed, I probably should have bought something a little more muffled. At about 1500-1700 rpm's the droan is almost tooth rattling, so much so that it almost hurts to stay at that rpm range. Driving with the windows down seems to work but that's no good for the upcoming cold weather and ensuing rain. I guess I will either buy something that is a little more quiet inside the car or buy a boatload of dynamat. Other than the droan...I LOVE IT!!!! It finally sounds like it looks...MEAN!!!"

"You won't find a better price on a stainless performance exhaust for your Chevy/GMC truck. Perfect fit and great sound. Quality is good with the exception of the welds at the inlet/outlet pipes of muffler(not a defect, poor in appearance only). Rolled tip is a nice touch."

"I found the system to be very well made and easy to put together. I had a professional muffler shop put it in for $60 bucks and 15 minutes later, I had a good sound and fair performance. I need to reprogram the computer because I can tell by the sound and shifting times that the ram truck needs tweeking. A dyno test would tell me how much change has been made. I would recommend this system just for the sound."

"I have a 2004 4.0L edge ranger with a K&N cold air intake, and this exhaust really opened it up, I have a super chips on order so i hope it opens in up even more. The exhaust was really easy to install except that I had to drill the mid pipe holes cause they didn't fit the stock bolts to connect to my stock pipe, no big deal just took 5 extra minutes!!!"

"After alot of research I decided to go with the JBA exhaust system. I was looking for an exhaust that would unleash the sound of the Titan but also keep it fairly quiet in the cab, and does just that. It feels a little more powerful and it sounds fantastic when you get into the throttle. So for performance and sound I give the JBA a 10. I was however disappointed when I opened the box and saw the quality of the finished product. The piping and the tail piece looked good but I wasn't happy at all with the muffler. They didn't brush the welds and the finished product didn't look anything even close to the picture. They should give you what is advertised and not something that looks like it was fabricated at a vocational welding school. I should have sent this back but after thinking it through I decided to install the system. I'm very pleased with the sound but JBA needs to improve the quality of their finished product."

"Installation instructions were easy to follow. Install of exhaust was complete in about an hour. If you live in a cold weather climate like I do be prepared with plenty of penetrating oil, a torch, air hammer, for the removal of the old cat back piping. Could have used some new catalytic converter stud nuts, three of my old ones just crumbled away, there was only one good fastener left on the cat studs."
