Great Muffler: Exhaust and Emissions

I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty (3.7L V6) and I've spent so much time searching the internet for the right muffler. I wanted something that sounded good but not too loud, especially in the cabin. Finally figured it out, got this one and installed it today (everything is welded). It sounds great! With the windows open there's a noticeable difference in sound (you can tell it's not stock), but it's actually only marginally louder. I drove it home from work (30 miles), freeway and city driving, and there was no drone, which was my main concern. The exterior of the car is a different story. It's not overly loud, but definitely noticeable, especially in WOT. When cruising and lightly accelerating, you can keep it relatively quiet. The reason I took off a star is because they didn't have this in stainless steel. I use my truck as a daily driver, in harsh conditions and heavy use, don't expect this stuff to last more than 2-3 years before it rusts. I doubt there is an increase in performance, at least for my jeep, but I bought it to hear/feel the engine a little more and that's why I'm happy with this product. If you want to buy this but are afraid it will be too loud, just buy it. If your current muffler isn't silent, you'll be happy with it. If you want to wake up the neighbors and scare dogs and old ladies on the street, then get the Super 44 or Super 10. If you want something more aggressive without going overboard, get these. Driven 700 km with new exhaust. It sounds really great. When you step on the gas, the thing can get pretty loud. Driving down a city street and stepping on the accelerator will turn heads. Wanted to add something about the drone. My jeep has a button on the shifter to disable overdrive. I almost always oversteer unless I really need full power from the car. With overdrive engaged and cruising from 0 to 90 mph, there's no hum and it sounds great in the cabin. Very quiet. With the overdrive off, there is some hum between different speeds under certain conditions. Nothing crazy or annoying because when I'm driving with the overdrive off I'm driving with performance intent and want to hear the engine to the fullest. Just wanted people to know that they might not have the overdrive feature or it might be disabled all the time. I still give the muffler 5 stars for everything except the material (hence the minus). I just want to make this review as detailed as possible because when I bought it I couldn't find much information about the things that were bothering me and it would have made my life easier. Also, the muffler has a loud and aggressive noise on cold starts until the ECU switches to normal combustion, which I think sounds great. After the cats warm up, there is a very faint low rumble at idle. Definitely makes the Jeep sound like an aggressive pickup truck. Also, it hasn't rusted or deteriorated over time, so I take my words back that this isn't stainless steel. He has held up well.
