Anyone thinking about upgrading the exhaust or do you think it's a waste of money.

Saw this on YouTube - TrailRecon. He has done some pretty cool mods for serious off-roaders. What do you think about the exhaust mod?
Exhaust part is at about the 14 minute mark.

The factory exhaust works pretty well given the environmental and cost constraints for a vehicle like this. But if money is no issue, then there are probably some small incremental benefits in sound, departure angle, materials quality, and performance. In addition, the process of customization has a joy all its own.

However, if resources are limited, then perhaps it is better to spend the $1,200 instead on gas to take it for a trip and create a nice memory.

I'd rather straight pipe it.

$1200 for what should really be $200 in parts value, is just excessive. There's nothing innovative or remarkable about these exhaust systems which have been out FOREVER.
