Open the valves when you want the Jeep louder, then close them when you are getting on the highway, leaving early in the morning or simply do not want to listen to the louder setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the valves closed, exhaust gases are routed through the quieter side of the rear section. Valvetronic tunes this setting to keep the sound smoother and reduce the frequencies that usually cause highway drone. Opening the valves provides a more direct exhaust path and a noticeably louder sound. The 2.0L turbo and 3.6L V6 will still sound different from one another, but both receive the same two-mode control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe axle-back is the better fit if you want valve control while keeping the factory resonator. It will be the more restrained of the two complete configurations. The cat-back adds the engine-specific midpipe and deletes the factory resonator, so this is the version we would choose if the goal is a larger change in overall volume and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is built from 2.5-inch mandrel-bent T304 stainless steel and finished in satin black. It mounts to the Wrangler without cutting or welding, although the pneumatic valve-control system still requires additional installation beyond simply bolting the exhaust in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe exhaust sections bolt to the factory mounting locations without cutting or welding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe vacuum pump, valve controller and associated lines must also be installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect the midpipe that matches the Jeep's engine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck clearance around aftermarket bumpers, receiver hitches, suspension components and skid plates before tightening the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition and align the exhaust before fully tightening the clamps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecheck clamps and connections after the first few heat cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Video\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/YZeaJhSE_RU\" title=\"Valvetronic Blackbear Valved Exhaust for Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis video lets you hear the Blackbear system with the valves open and closed.
