Exhaust Systems & Towing Question
Okay, so I'm looking at Magnaflow part 15721 for my Jeep. I don't want the headers on the system, just the catback parts, aka 15721, like I just said xD I wondered what everyone's opinion on these were. I found them here ( http://www.a-1performance.com/magnaflow/Systems/liberty.cfm ) for around $454, and on ebay for the same price. Does anyone know of anywhere else to find them cheaper? I'm looking for a sound upgrade--I'm not really concerned with performance.
And as a sidenote, Flowmaster is absolutely NOT an option--too overpriced and their pipes aren't uniform diameters. So yeah...either Borla or Magnaflow, and I like the sound of the Magnaflow, but am still looking for opinions.
As for towing--what is a 2002 KJ Renegade ACTUALLY rated to tow? Because I've heard 5k from some sites and 3k from others, and the manual says 5k only if you have the heavy duty towing package, etc. I'm not sure what it has on it--I know it has a hitch and tow hooks and stuff, but I believe that's all part of the Renegade package. I'm trying to find out if I'd be able to pull my horse trailer with it--with two horses the load would weigh around 4,500. With one horse, which is probably all I'd ever tow, it'd be around 3,200 pounds. And with the wheel-base being so short, has this ever caused problems for anyone?
