Glasspacks are pretty loud, you may not like it, and your neighbors
certainly won't.  Get a turbo muffler -- great throaty sound on a V8, and
not so loud that it's obnoxious, either inside or outside the vehicle.
Real cheap at any auto parts store.

online. You can search for them the left navigation portion of the
page. To shop, enter the desired product or SKU# in the KEYWORD/ ITEM#

dropdowns or browse through the PRODUCT CATEGORIES narrowing results
to your desired products.

Q.     Are all the items in the print catalog available on the website?
A.     We work very hard to ensure that all our products are available
online. However, given the sheer volume of product available through
our multiple catalogs and the volume of new product introductions
there will be occurrences of product available in one or more of our

something in our print catalog which is not available on our website,
please use the Order From A Catalog online method (located in the top
left navigation portion of the home page), or contact us to order any
products you cannot locate online.

Q.     Why does the product Item number appear differently in the catalog
than on the website??
A.     The SKU number shown in the print catalog differs from the SKU
number you see on our website for sales reference purposes. However,
if the six numeric digits are the same, it is the same product. See
example.

Q.     Is the information listed on JCWhitney.com 100% accurate?
A.     Although we check our information very carefully before adding a
