Re: Can I make my TJ sound like a badass?
I want to know where they can get away with charging almost $500 for a
cat-back that goes for $90 here (for the longer XJ)

Never underestimate the value of having such shops. There's a place like
that in Baltimore I've used for years for everything from duals on coupe
devilles to my XJ. Have to say, however, that the noise of glasspaks on a
caddie gets annoying a mite quicker than you'd expect.
