Solo Exhaust Delete kit from Nick @GotExhaust.com He’s a preferred vendor here and one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He’s got a 17 PW.
That kit replaces the stock factory muffler($180 +/-).
Then a 6”x12” tip. Damn that thing will sound sexy and turn heads.
I have this exact set up. I get compliments constantly
Man it really wakes that 6.4 hemi up.

So I have considered the delete however it may be to loud for me....I hunt and dont want to wake up the county when I go to work

I debate this back and forth, I am looking at maybe a flowmaster 50, but it doesnt seem loud enough, I am torn because too loud or not loud enough....wish I could hear someone's around the colorado springs area...

Is this a street/dirt road truck or do you wheel it?

The Solo isn’t super loud. Mine is louder due to the tip I welded on.
It’s a slip on with clamps and hangers. I would suggest not cutting the resonator off. Leaving it on will help tame the sound and control drone which is near nonexistent anyway.
I too am a hunter haven’t had any problems with sound and hunting.

It's a dialy driver I see trails on the weekend, maybe 25 to 30 percent off road, in mid, rocks whatever I can find. Not talking dirt roads I do moderate to hard trails in Colorado's


Is the mach 82 a bolt on kit. The videos on the net look like the muffler delete will set alarms off...would love to do it myself

Now we’re getting somewhere. I don’t know what all you’ve done to your truck, so I’m just going to give you the list as I would prioritize it (for a real off-roading PW)

Tires (OEM duratracs puncture easily)
Rock sliders
Recovery gear (ARB9000 blocks x2, tree traps, 1/2” extension, 3/4” and 7/8” shackles, 60” Hi Lift or 20T squatty bottle jack, snatch rope)
Onboard air or CO2 and tire repair kit (at least plugs, preferably with patches and tire levers)
Radio (whatever your group uses if you wheel with others) or Garmin InReach (if you wheel alone).
Dethloff Mfg oil pan/exhaust skid (if you do rocky trails)

The Mach 82 is just the muffler. 3 1/2 in. and out connections. Might possibly need a short piece of pipe. Summit sells 3 1/2 SS 304. 1 Ft.

I'd spend it on new shocks. The bilstiens suck!!! I just purchased fox reservoir shocks, waiting for them to arrive. Hope they ride better, if not at least they will look badass. Lol

I'm goin for both. I have always switched all my trucks in the past over to fox and have had no complaints and they have worked very well. I have never seemed to have a pair of bilstiens work or last very long. They also seem to rust very quickly which looks terrible. I had a pair of fox shocks on my raptor for 6 years not one spec of rust on them
