What’s up guys!
It’s time to add a new exhaust system to the Jeep Gladiator!
But instead of just making a video on the exhaust upgrade, I decided to do some testing to see if the Cold air intake and exhaust actually made any difference at all!
In this video, we do a lot haha. I know it’s a little long, but we find out some really cool data.
The intake did indeed help out with performance, as well as the cat back exhaust.
Both paired together was an extremely noticeable difference.
I am using the Tazer JL to record the 0-60 tests, and I will make a video on the Tazer soon. Going over all the functions and how to use them.
But, the GIVEAWAY!
I am giving away the AFE rock basher exhaust to one of you guys.
To enter,
You must be subscribed, leave a comment below, and of course, thumbs up the video.
If you noticed, I do have a new bed cover, as well as a little more lift, both of these will be discussed in an upcoming video talking about what all is going on with the Jeep Gladiator, and the future mod and build plans.
Stay tuned for the next video of Cassie and I wheeling the JKU at Windrock park!
Thanks for watching, please leave a comment and don’t forget to give the video a thumbs up! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This video alone made me SUBSCRIBE! This is how you do a proper review. You had a stock base. You tested every combination of exhaust & intake. You weighed all the exhaust systems. Great video of installation and comparison against stock parts. Great sound clips both inside and out vs each combination. Great data to back performance claims. And most important a good honest opinion of what you like best after all is said and done. Best of all your wife's enthusiasm is the greatest! She seems genuine in supporting your hobby and looks to enjoy it herself. I wish you two the best and look forward to watching more of your channel.
Any time I weigh something large and awkward, first I weigh myself, then weigh myself holding the part and then subtract the original weight to get the difference. I've found it's more accurate. Hope that helps. Keep up the good work.
I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel! I recently purchased a Gladiator and watching your channel has given me a lot of inspiration on what I would like to do to my Jeep. My first mod would definitely have to be a new exhaust. I’m currently a full time student with a part time job so truck mods are not my top priority. Keep on making awesome videos!!
Got a jkur a few months ago after totaling my Nissan Xterra. Wasn’t even looking for a Jeep because there are so many jeeps in Virginia. But I came across this green Jeep that I couldn’t resist. My first standard vehicle and I drove about an hour up to Yorktown to check it out and the rest is history. Runs great aside from a few minor problems that I have been fixing. Getting a ten year old vehicle with 80k miles will have a few issues here and there but working the kinks out I love it and upgraded to falcon 3.3 shocks and metalcloak HD steer kit and looking to do a few more things. But i love the videos and hope to one day catch you out on the trails somewhere in VA one of these days.
Casey is so fridgen tiny im stuck on just seeing her sitting under the gladiator 🤣🤣❤❤ love you guys!!!
So you almost got back to stock numbers with 37's and 4:10 gears with CAI and the Rockbasher..... that is amazing
I just purchased a Gladiator. Learned so much from your videos. I was just talking to a friend about making my trucks performance better along with making it a wee bit louder. Boom there was your video. Thank you. I’d like to enter your contest please. .
Awesome video me and my wife were thinking about a new budget friendly exhaust this video was very helpful. thank you for always posting videos that are very informative. me and my wife just purchase our Jeep Gladiator this year and it is our first Jeep ever. we come from a Toyota family and there's a lot of stuff I'm still learning on what to add how to add it and your videos help a lot and I love that you and your wife do these videos together. Thank you for your awesome videos keep up the great work
Glad to see the crocs are back!!!
Hey Ben. Love the work you’re doing on the JT! Just picked one up myself. Finished a 4” ready lift and 37” nitto ridge grapplers. Would love this exhaust to tie it off. Also is that a full spare 37” underneath? Keep up the good work and awesome videos 👍🏻
I’ve wanted a wrangler based truck ever since I saw a Brute conversion about 10 years ago, as soon as they announced the gladiator I started saving everything I could to afford it! As of three weeks ago I am officially the owner of a Jeep Gladiator and I couldn’t be happier! The only thing I don’t like about it is how quite it is, and I’m not going to sit here and complain about money because I’m blessed to have the ability to pay for my truck but I certainly cannot afford any mods yet. I’ve started saving for an exhaust but with your help in this giveaway I could put that money towards my next build goal, tires! Huge fan of your build so far, it looks rugged but still clean and classy! Keep up the good content!
I had a dream last night about mufflers; and I woke up exhausted... Great video guys, I haven’t had a Jeep for a while, but finally got a Gladiator and I’m excited to get back into it.
Hey Ben and Cassie. I've got a 95 yj, in the process of addressing the body rust, and adding some mods as well. Would love to win the rock basher, see if I could get it to mate up. Enjoying your vids, keep it up.
Speed up was funny!!! Thanks for the good info!!! 👍
Hey thank you for making this video. I ended up buying the AFE mach force exhaust and momentum CAI. Man the stock exhaust was such a pain to get off. Big time props to you for taking the time to put it on and off wow, seriously the stock exhaust was such a pain. For those whom see this comment it's ONE piece welded. Remove the rear track bar at the axle end and it's easier to pull through towards the front of the jeep.
I’ve had an Overland JT for about a month now and that’s what drew me towards your channel! I love all the videos and I always look out for your uploads! I can’t wait for your lift video!
It’s excellent content... if it goes long we will still watch.... NO NEED TO SPEED IT UP.
Thank you, but sadly I have noticed my views decreasing, and the view retention rate dropping. I wanted to see if this would help or not. Mostly a test, while still being able to provide info. TH-cam will let you slow the video down as well.
Its youtube i am having to re sub and notify all my favs or look for them my self. Your channel has come up in my feed some, but not all the time.
@@JKGearandGadgets don't get discouraged my friend! You have excellent videos and explain stuff very well and relatable. I take your opinion on your reviews of mods because I trust your judgment. You seem like a good guy and hardwork will always pay off. Keep pushing!
@@JKGearandGadgets Since you mentioned your views dropping....To improve "my" viewing experience I wouldn't speed up your tape. Also keep your hand from blocking your view of the subject your speaking of. I find your hand waving in front of the subject most annoying. I clicked off because of it before. Otherwise I do enjoy your content. I also learn Jeep stuff from you guys. Thanks.
@@JKGearandGadgets your videos are entertaining, informative, and honest. Hang in there, your growth has been organic and will pay off in the long run.
I’d love to win the exhaust. Dad just picked up a gladiator and we’re having a blast modding it together. His gladiator is super nice, but I still love my JK.
That sounds like so much fun.
Nice comparison. Thanks for taking the time to do that extra step of switching back to a factory intake
Hey Ben, I’ve been keeping up with your channel since I’ve gotten my Gladiator back in June. I’ve been toying with the idea of adding cold air intake and aftermarket exhaust to mine as well. Your videos are great and look forward to watching your future videos. You two are great and I’m trying to get my wife involved with these mods as well. Keep on doing what you’re doing!
Must have been very exhausting to put this content together.😜
Bad dad jokes🙄
very punny!
I think we’re looking at a winner
They’re just blowing a lot of hot air. 🤷♂️
Oh, he went there😝
Jeep 4 life! I would like the exhaust if possible! 😃
I appreciate your channel and have watched for a while now. This video inspires to do those upgrades to my JKU that I have heard so many times, don't do anything.
Thanks again and keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep watching.
I just stumbled across you today and well it looks like great minds think alike. I also installed afe cia and afe high tuck exhaust on my red Rubicon. I just got my 35's on rock-star 3 rims and about to install teraflex leveling kit. Actually your install video is how i just found you. Great videos btw. And i'd love to be entered into the contest for the exhaust. I was actually kinda disappointed at how quiet the high tuck afe is. One of my favorite upgrades is the hothead headliner. That is a must have. Thanks for the great info
That Diamondback top looks sweet. I bet it will hold a RTT.
🧐🤔
That was exactly what I was thinking.... Still debating on the back end rack for mine and now I need more details on this one because I for sure plan to add a RTT in the spring!
Dean Johnson bed racks are cool until it rains or, if you’re in the west like me, your stuff in the bed is covered with sand or dust. There has to be a way to install two Yakima or Thule bars across the metal Diamondback cover to support tents, bikes, kayaks, etc. Plus it would be easier to get your dog in a tent that’s closer to the ground.
Put me in! Would love it for my Glad!
Put me in to win it. Your real world numbers really help make the decision to add an exhaust easier. Keep it up.
Would love a new exhaust! Just bought my first car ever (gladiator sport s) and I cant stop thinking of all of the amazing mods I could do! Just trying to save enough to make it exactly what I want! Thank you for putting out all the helpful videos!
He has the Chrisfix gestures that are really noticeable when he gets off camera and decides to talk about the jeep lol
Did you speed up some parts where you were talking?lol....
Dan Hambrick was thinking the same thing. Towards the end he’s like Ricky Bobby, on fire...lol
Something was definitely a little off with the last part of the video. I dropped the speed down to 0.75 and it basically sounded normal. For fun drop the speed down to 0.5 on this last section and Ben sounds super faded.... lol
It even says he is going to speed it up.
Dumb idiot, he literally said that he gonna speed it up
He was droning on and on so he sped things up. Ha ha.
I really enjoyed your vid...I think I’m sold on your rock basher for myself...for my Bright White JTLE. Enjoy your Gladys guys!!! I just bought my wife a 10th Anniversary Rubicon 2dr with the red leather and anvil paint. We have 7 kids and are very excited to start our Dual Jeep Oversized Overlanding Family channel. We will be doing vids with the kids showcasing installs of roof racks, rooftop tents, fridges, winch’s, onboard air, lighting etc and camping trail days with all 9 of us...it’s gonna be craziness! See you on the trails!
Just picked up the gladiator yesterday would be a perfect fit. Thanks for the content.
You two are too cute! Casey needs to be in more of your videos. Best video yet! Nice work.
Id want to win this exhaust so i can rock it while driving the jeep with crocs
Great analysis...
I just got a Rubi in white love the jeep.
This Rock Basher will be a great First mod, thanks to you guys. I really like and enjoy all your videos.
Thanks for you time.
New to your channel and I must say I love your content. I truly appreciate the effort you put into for this video for an honest review and the complete transparency of the 0-60 times.
Wait, who was the person that Cassie said. Why did you bleep it out
Lol, could it be LBN? Too funny.. Your Gladiator sounds nice, I like the quickness of the short exhaust installation by only having 1 muffler. I, too, like the quieter dual muffler setup especially when out trail riding all day.
Probably another TH-camr
Either Ben is talking fast or I am listening too slow. 😂
🤣
Great video! I was thinking of upgrading both intake and exhaust on my jk. Glad to see your results did show some improvements.
Love the channel and all of the Mods. I’m looking to get the diamondback cover real soon. The sound on the rock basher is awesome. That little bit of rumble is what I like, keep up the awesome work.
I’d love to win this exhaust I never win anything but it’s worth a shot anyway keep up the good videos I watch everyone More JK videos please
Next video is JK. 😃
Kool thanks
I really like what you've done to the gladiator. I just starting watching you two. It's very informative and I appreciate all the time and money spent to fo these vids. I am considering a jeep just not sure which...
thanks for doing these videos I just bought a 2020 gladiator and it came with the cold air intake and I've been looking to upgrade the exhaust
Thanks for this! I am trying to decide which exhaust i want for my JTR. I think you have made my choice clear with all your efforts.
I would love the rock basher. I have been modding out my gladiator but have not done any performance mods, so this would a great start. I’ve been watching all you gladiator vids keep it up
Great info. Been looking forward to do this update to my JK, so now have a good understanding of the diff products out there. Watching you from Tampa FL
Love your videos! I just got my JT in August and I've truly loved getting into the customizing of the gladiator. I would love to win that exhaust. Keep up the good work!
Well the Rock basher sounded great and as I'm prepared to upgrade to 37s soon it would be a awesome addition . Thanks Runk
Both were nice notes and numbers! I’ve had my sport since October and have loved it since! Done some normal upgrades like led lights and wheel change thus far. The short exhaust would be great out trailing! Love the vids guys!
Great content on this video. Really like how you broke down all of the test results with all the different combinations. Only other stat that I would have liked to see done was a noise db test. Keep up on the videos.
First off love the channel, and your commentary on all of your Jeep vids. As a new member of the Jeep family the Rock Basher would be a sweet start to my JT build. I got my Gladiator a little over a month ago and have been saying the first couple of things I want to do are intake and exhaust. Unfortunately my final look is gonna take a while as I am a teacher and even getting the JT took some sweet talking the wife. That said she does love the JT now and looks forward to the topless time we will get in the coming months. Even still, this would be a great way to upgrade without having to talk my wife into it lol. 👋🏼
Just have to say, Thank you both for doing this! First time Jeep owner so any and all info is much appreciated...Aloha and Mahalo
I picked up my Launch addition Gladiator on Monday 12/30 and Thursday It got hit by a UPS tractor trailer so I only got to drive it 100 miles. I can't wait to get it back.I would rock that exhaust system
Just purchased my first Jeep ever and got the Gladiator. You have been my go to for any questions on Gladiators. I purchased the cold air intake based off your recommendation. Would love to win the Rock Basher
I have a 2007 5.3L V8 GMC Yukon That I am outfitting as a Overlander and installed a K&N Cold Air Intake System, And right away I noticed an increase in performance... My OBD2 app has an HP, torque meter (i don't know how accurate it is) and it showed that I gained 15HP, which is what K&N said it would. But not only was there an increase in HP but an increase in fuel economy. (when I'm not flooring the truck and having fun.. lol) The truck will inhale and exhale a lot easier now with the upgrades which entails more performance...
Great video, keep up the great work...
Haven’t got my Gladiator yet still dealing with a lemon law situation on my 2019 Ram but that rock basher would be awesome add to my first Jeep. Thanks for the info on the exhaust!!
I have a ‘99 chili pepper pearl TJ. She’s my BABY, love her so much! My dad has an ‘02 TJ so we spend a lot of time working on them and hitting the trials together. I don’t have a gladiator but I’d love to win the exhaust. Great video!
Great video, keep them coming! I’ve watched them all so far and have made some mods based specifically on the products you’ve shown in the past.
Well done Ben!! great content as usual! Thanks for taking the time to doing these comparisons. Putting your foot to the floor and pencil to paper is really going to help viewers have an idea of what to expect and/or instill a confidence with their choice of cold air, or exhaust, or combo upgrades. I've kinda begun somewhat of a overland build on my gladiator as well as documenting the installs and trips here on the tube, which is a shot in the dark, but i enjoy doing it. Go ahead and put me down for the exhaust giveaway. Thanks and see you on the trail!
Pretty sure the rock basher will fit my JLU Rubicon. Mods have been put on hold for about the past year, I haven’t been able to work and mods definitely had to take a backseat. Good luck to everyone and thank you for the giveaway!!!
Hey Ben thanks for going to all of the trouble multiple times to get the results on the exhaust/CAI combinations...
Larger volumes of air/exhaust in/out will increase performance. Years ago I’d read that total removal of your exhaust system will actually hurt your engines performance as it needs some back pressure...
Still looking for a Jeep so I’ve really no immediate use for that exhaust you’d tested. I know it wouldn’t fit any of our MINI Coopers no mater how much you cut or bend...
Keep producing the videos, they do help the learning curve.
Good choice with the Mach Force exhaust. It sounds way more adult and not as riced out as the shorter one. Keep up the videos, and would love to see one on various tonneau covers for the gladiator as well!
Oh no, not another thing to add to my list! Thanks a lot :) Seriously, thanks so much for your videos. I'm building my Gladiator in parallel and it is always nice to see what someone else is doing. With my 37's, rack and other stuff I really do think I'll need to find a few extra HP somewhere down the road. I'd love to put the Rock Basher on if I can win it :)
I need this exhaust. My JT is so quiet compared to my wifes Mustang GT that I've actually left the Jeep running when going in to Home Depot once with the doors off. Had no idea it was still running. So glad it was still there when I got back out over 30 min later.
Awesome comparison video! I dig it I noticed a difference with my jeep when I switched to a cold air intake and an exhaust. Definitely worth the money in my opinion
Love your videos. Just picked up a new Gladiator , Gator Green and would love to get this exhaust. Plan on using it for some overland stuff. Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks for the effort.
As always, I appreciate your videos! Got my Gladiator Rubicon in October of 2019. This would be an awesome mod for it if I were to win. As a new father I haven't had the time to start wrenching on it yet but would love to start asap!
Just got my Gladiator and am currently binge watching your videos lol I wanna get that rock basher as well as the Tonnele cover and rooftop tent
Love to win the exhaust, but your video's are great to watch anyway. We love the relationship the two of you have. Nice job.
Can’t wait to get into modding, got the wife a jl few months ago and love her Jeep so much going to look for me one this weekend
Looks like exhausting work, thanks for the comparison! I'd like the rockbasher for your JT twin, didn't think you'd see those kinds of gains out of the intake and exhaust.
I use to swap exhaust and intakes back in my Mustang days. They work!! I currently have a JKU and shopping for a Gladiator. I'd love to have that exhaust my my future ride! BTW, love your videos!
Y’all deserve a Medal of Honor and Nobel Peace Prize for breaking it down like this. And holy hell, wait until/if you re-gear to 4.88 or 5.13. You’ll be looking at sub 8 second 0-60 which is pretty nice on a rig running 37s haha
Definitely wouldn't mind a win. I do not have a Gladiator but I've been debating between one and a Chevy Colorado. Watching your vids on the gladiator is definitely swaying my decision towards a Gladiator. keep up the great work man, and thanks for the opportunity
Hey Ben, thanks for the great videos! I just bought my first jeep and I definitely watched a lot of your videos before making the purchase! 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon (MT)! I've had it for 3 days and already love it! Been driving it in the snow and ice a lot and can't wait to get it off road! Count me in for the contest for the Rock Basher exhaust! Thanks!
Congrats on the first jeep!! 🤘🤘
@@JKGearandGadgets Thanks! Keep making awesome videos!
Your Gladiator is looking really good. I took possession of mine in November and that rock basher would sound great on it.
great video. i put on the gibson axle back on my JL and love it!! i’m definitely putting in an air intake this month.
Really enjoying your channel. You have a great presenter personality, very enjoyable to watch. Keep these videos coming!
You two are awesome and I love the channel!! I just got a New Gladiator 😄🤯 and getting ready to modify it... SOOOooo excited! All your information is so helpful and informative. Would love to be added to contest Pls. and Thank You!! 😃 “Keep on Wheelin Guys!”
I love this video, I’ll be getting a Gladiator when I graduate this year. I prefer the Rock Basher for my liking. Keep up the good work!!
Don't have a Gladiator but it tops my list for my next vehicle. Put a lot of time in watching your videos and found yours to be the most interesting and fun to watch. Love that it's a family vehicle as well as a fun project! I've got a Honda Ridgeline. Yea, yea, I know it's not considered a truck in most hardcore circles but it fits my needs perfectly. If it fits I'd love to put it on to make it sound better!
I have the 3" Rock basher on my '18 JL and love it. Will probably get the same CAI you have installed.
Good review, thanks for doing this comparison. Love to win the exhaust for my wife's Gladiator. Keep up with these reviews coming!
Love the exhaust!! Love the show. I was going to do a leveling kit but ended up doing a lift. This would be sweet!!
👋 first time Jeep owner with a Gladiator. Single guy who could put that exhaust to good use. Count me in, love the videos.I'd also love a follow up video on the Diamondback and your impressions over time. Keep it up!
Thank you! I would install it. The sounds isn't that loud. My kids wear headphones cause they are always on their tablets. Can't wait to hear more about the cold air intake. I am on the border about purchasing one.
Definitely plan on adding a CAI and exhaust to our setup. Winning this would check one of those boxes 😃
such a great video. and informitive. thanls sso much even though i'm stuck with my JK. Always debated if i should get one or the other intake and exhaust or both! Again great job....
My factory exhaust came out in 3 pieces. Thanks sawzall lol. I went with the Corsa Sport. I;m really happy with it. I also put on the Spectre CAI. Combined there was a noticeable difference. '21 JT
I am currently building a 99 jeep XJ and am upgrading the exhaust and would love to incorporate this muffler and piping into the rig. Thanks for the opportunity! And great channel!
Just got my 2020 JLUR & would love to win the exhaust. I'm running a 2" lift, 37's & stock 4:10 gears, so this test had great info for me. Love the channel & am looking forward to a Tazer JL demo!
Working on getting my gladiator and this is one parts I been looking at for my future built.
I just bought a 2020 Gladiator Overland and want that exhaust. Nice video
Picked up my Gladiator last Sat. Great content in this channel
Love the vids. Great information, thank you for doing the work. I love the rock basher. I already have the cold air intake with snorkel bundle. It does add pep and sounds better than stock.
Love your videos, I've had my 2020 Hydro Blue Rubicon Gladiator for 12 weeks as of today, I upgraded wheels and put on 37's...love the ride and would love a little beefy deep throat exhaust...I travel to and on the Beach here in NJ all year long so this exhaust would be an awesome add on to my Gladiiator build...hope to hear great news when you announce the winner..me..✌😎🇺🇸..safe travels..
Wow, thorough video! Great job you guys. I enjoyed it and you guys covered a lot of stuff. As always very informative. Thank you.
would love that rock basher exhaust. Right up my alley. I usually chop down the exhausts to and in front of or over axle dump anyways, and I don't have any kids to worry about extra cabin noise. haha
I’d love to win the exhaust! Plans to sell the JK and buy a gladiator soon. Thanks for taking the time to do all the comparisons. Great work you guys!
Love the videos looking forward to the upcoming jk content especially since i just recently bought a jk rubicon and would be awesome to try and use this exhaust. I have been considering a cold air intake as well thanks for the information.
