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.

Simple Installation and Construction

Straightforward Resonator Replacement

The Trail Rated resonator delete is designed for simple do-it-yourself installation in approximately 60 minutes. This straight pipe replacement system eliminates the factory resonator section, replacing it with a free-flowing T304 stainless steel pipe that connects to existing factory mounting points.

Installation Process:

1. Locate the factory resonator in the mid-section of the exhaust
2. Cut the factory exhaust at the specified locations (instructions included)
3. Remove the factory resonator section
4. Install the MRT straight pipe replacement
5. Secure with included hardware and hangers

All necessary hardware is included, and the installation can be completed with basic hand tools and a cutting tool (reciprocating saw or pipe cutter recommended).

Premium T304 Stainless Steel Construction

Despite the budget-friendly price point, MRT doesn't compromise on materials. The Trail Rated resonator delete is constructed from premium 2.5-inch T304 stainless steel that resists corrosion from mud, water, salt, and extreme temperatures. This professional-grade material ensures your resonator delete maintains its appearance and performance through years of use.

The straight-through design provides unrestricted flow through the replacement section, eliminating the restriction created by the factory resonator while maintaining structural integrity and durability.

Installation and Compatibility

DIY-Friendly Modification

MRT engineers designed the Trail Rated resonator delete specifically for straightforward DIY installation. The system requires cutting the factory exhaust at specified locations to remove the resonator, then installing the MRT straight pipe replacement. Detailed instructions guide you through the entire process.

Installation Requirements:

• Time: Approximately 60 minutes
• Tools: Basic hand tools, cutting tool (reciprocating saw or pipe cutter), penetrating oil, jack stands
• Skill Level: Beginner to intermediate DIY mechanic
• Modifications Required: Cutting factory exhaust at specified locations
• Tuning Required: None
