Banks or Borla, perhaps a flowmaster muffler [they come in different
grades of loud] should both give a small power and mileage boost.

Loud? I hope not too loud. I am not some kid. I'm a grown man, and really
don't want to have a jeep that sounds like a teen owns it. Now you have me
concerned. I hope it isn't loud at idle or if you are driving normally.

Nah, you can get even a flowmaster that is no louder than stock or
even not as loud as. Make sure when you are shopping around that
you make it clear that this is a concern tho.

I should have recorded the sound with only the header
