An exhaust shop told me that it would help your mpg some because it would be able to breathe better. I will say, it certainly hasn't hurt my mpg. According to the onboard dash pc I average 27 mpg.

No, won't hurt but doesn't help. On the 4.0, the exhaust is not the weak link in the engines ability to inhale/exhale. It may help on the order of a tenth or 2 MPG, but not enough to consider it a gain. You'll negate it anyway by putting your foot into it more to hear the new growl.

OP, check your local Craigslist....you may be able to pick up some GT mufflers for a great price. I just looked at ours and I saw a guy who only wants $10.00. He has been trying to sell them for $80 for over a month. I guess he got tired and lowered the price.
