I bought my while exhaust system from A.B. Lynn a few years back. I don't know where it was built, but seems to be housing up well. It sounds a little "ricey" to me when revved or cruising though - I would've thought the 'a1 would have a more throaty note. Can anyone confirm the sound an 'a1 should make?

The L-134 and F-134 jeeps sound essentially the same. Put, Put, Put. The M38A1 has just a little resonance if the tailpipe flange is located in it's normal location pointing at the right rear bumperette.

That might be what I'm hearing then. If a recording would sound right I would post one, but unfortunately, sounds on the internet are about as bad as colors!
