JEEP Grand Cherokee V8 HEMI - sports exhaust...
I'm currently living in Texas (missing the Impreza, and corners and bends, very much!) and have lumped for an SUV (for my wife, really 
)
I went for the Jeep 5.7l V8 HEMI as it was the quickest I could find (the SRT came out six months later with an extra 100bhp
) and I couldn't afford / justify a Cayenne Turbo 
Anyway, I'm looking to fit an exhaust to make the most of the V8 as it's not that throaty at the moment. I've found a few systems that claim to add either 15 - 20% more bhp (Borla or gibson, I think) and others that claim to add 20 - 30% (best case scenario would up it from 330bhp to over 420bhp!!
)
It's a lease, but the systems are only $500 - $700 so can chuck it if needed at return.
Anyone have any recommendations, tips or sources for kit? Or any advice on how to get the most out of the HEMI, please?

Ignore him London. His experience of cars comes from reading about them...
Good luck with your project! We hired a Jeep Grand Cherokee a couple of times when in Colorado. It's ideal for the mountains and deals with the massive amounts of snow very well. A comfortable, family car and great in The States.
Cheers

It's a reasonable motor, but bought it mainly as my wife felt intimidated by all the other big trucks and the 18 wheelers, plus it is 5 star front and side safety rated, and the driving is so appalling here, you need to feel big, safe and visible!
