Is it the stock muffler? Can you run a smaller muffler in it's place? That would be the first thing I'd try.

Is it a stock skid plate or an aftermarket one? If it's stock, you might have a legitimate gripe with Chrysler.

As far as I know it's a stock muffler,but it's not real big or long. same for the skid plate, I am sure it's stock,bought this jeep last year, used with 27000 miles, almost like new, used it one hunting season here on the ranch, it runs and works great for what I do, it's become my daily driver,it never leaves the ranch.

We pulled the plate today and built a cross member from 2 " N-80 steel tubing, took a little tinkering to get it right, but looks like it's going to work. Rio7
