Thanks for watching!
Great video. Clear voice with no crappy music in the background.I just had my 06 Jeep GC Laredo done by my mechanic. Cost me $375.00. At 70 I’m done crawling under cars.
Helpful video. I bought a 2005 5.7L WK last year partially to start learning my own maintenance. I’ve a P0153 O2 error and - after RUclips’ing some how-to’s - went under the chassis today to see how difficult it’d be to fix myself and found that the exhaust pipe had rusted through completely; pipe’s not even connected after the muffler, bolts sheared off, etc. I was a little freaked out being a novice, but your video makes it seem a doable home repair job.
👍🏻
Hey man, thanks for the tips. I would have never of thought to use a hacksaw on the flange bolts. Absolutely brilliant! I’m going to one up you and use my reciprocating saw for faster removal. The nuts on my flange are rusted beyond anything I’ve ever seen and there is no way I’ll ever get a socket on them. So glad I found your video. Thanks so much!
You got it 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing, and what I liked is that you put a link for all the materials and tools that were used, and I hope everyone will do that. Thanks again
Glad it was helpful!
2:37 👋 Hi Mom, your son is doing a great job 😎
Great video, very thorough. However, I myself would use soapy water to remove the hanger rubber, will dry up and flake away, lithium will stay in place and create the potential of something slipping off when you dont want it to. Thanks for video!
Thank you for posting this video. I have an XK and will be attempting to change the exhaust as well. It's my understanding these two chassis are identical. Guess we'll see.
You’re welcome. Enjoy the wrenching 👍🏻
I’m installing an MBRP exhaust tomorrow with this video so thank you!
Great video; just wish I could’ve heard it while started. Thanks for the content, going to follow suit.
Great video..it worked out perfectly for me!!! I had the same exact issue with the frozen bolts :-( OMG after 10 mins of getting almost nowhere with the hacksaw, I just lit it up with the sawzall! LOL... Thanks again
You got it 👍🏻
Sawzall FTW!
Great job buddy thanks,I have a 2006 Jeep
Appreciate it! 👍🏻
Thanks. As easy as I had hoped.
You got it 👍🏻
Did you get any better gas mileage after you made the change?
thank you i need work on my 2007 v8 4.7
Awesome video mate, sounds really good, wonder if they do one for a tj
Can you post more on the v6 mustang
Does anyone know the size of bolts I need? I cut mine off but I can’t seem to find the correct size bolts to replace. 12mm flange bolt??
Great Video. Mechanic wants to charge 600 is that fare?
Does it include this muffler in that $600?
$600 is way over priced. Unless you have a complete exhaust system installed.
Do you need a donut gasket? I didn’t see you use one.
What "Ground Cable" ??? and how the heck did you get under the SUV with no "Jacks" it looks like you are easily crawling under .
Nice video. I actually have a 2010 Jeep WK 3.7 V6, with this same exhaust however, doesn't it sound a little ricey to you? I was expecting of a more Muscle car kind of sound and when I drive it it reminds me kind of a honda civic lol.
Thank you. Yeah, it does sound better than stock but also not what I expected. I'd still recommend it.
No flange gasket needed?
is this the same for the gc laredo 3.0 crd v6?
Can't find this exhaust on amazon. Can you help?

Question: Does this exhaust system include a catalatic converter within the system?
Negative
Does your exhaust leaks did you use the gasket from the old exhaust?
No leaks. Shipped with new gaskets.
Where I can get that kind muffler
See my link in the description to this video
Thinking about doing this to my '06 3.7l v6 grand cherokee but both Magnaflow and amazon say that this model (#16834), doesn't fit the '06 Grand cherokee with this engine. The "compatible" model (#16632) is listing for about 50% more than the one you listed. Got any idea why that might be?
16632 = 2005-2006 V6
16384 = 2007-2010 V6
No idea why it more expensive...
