Upgrade Path and Options
Entry Point to Performance Exhausts
The Trail Rated resonator delete serves as an excellent introduction to exhaust modifications, allowing you to experience enhanced sound and performance before committing to more expensive systems. If you later decide you want more aggressive sound, you can upgrade to MRT's Gladiator cat-back systems while benefiting from the improved flow of the resonator delete in the meantime.
Looking for More Aggressive Sound?
If you're seeking a deeper rumble with louder sound levels, consider upgrading to MRT's Jeep Gladiator King of the Hill JT Cat-Back (Part #92R140). This complete cat-back system delivers maximum aggressive sound with a loudness rating of 9/10 while still maintaining tolerable drone levels for daily driving.
American Manufacturing and Warranty
Made in Michigan
Every Trail Rated resonator delete is engineered, designed and assembled at MRT's Plymouth, Michigan facility, ensuring consistent quality control and attention to detail. The American manufacturing process maintains strict standards for welding quality, fitment precision, and construction excellence.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
MRT backs the Trail Rated resonator delete with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own your Jeep Gladiator JT. This warranty protection reflects MRT's confidence in premium materials and manufacturing quality, even on budget-friendly products.
Performance and Sound Characteristics
Refined On-Demand Sound
- Idle: Nearly stock-like with subtle performance undertone
- Cruising: Civilized, refined tone with minimal intrusion
- Acceleration: Spirited low rumble with fun performance character
- Wide Open Throttle: Enhanced exhaust note with deeper tone
- Drone Level: Minimal (2/10) - barely noticeable cabin resonance
The Trail Rated resonator delete is designed for street performance, delivering sound when you demand it while maintaining composure during relaxed driving. The low tone remains refined and pleasant rather than raspy or obnoxious, creating a mature performance character that suits the Gladiator's personality.
Improved Exhaust Flow
By replacing the restrictive factory resonator with a straight pipe, the Trail Rated system reduces backpressure and improves exhaust gas flow. While the performance gains are modest compared to complete cat-back systems (rated 2 out of 10), you'll still experience subtle improvements in throttle response and engine breathing.
The enhanced flow allows the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine to breathe more efficiently, optimizing power delivery during acceleration and under load. These gains may be most noticeable during towing, hauling, or climbing grades where every bit of additional power and efficiency matters.
