Reviews for Mopar 55395955AC Muffler Exhaust Shield for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
haven't put it on yet , shipping was delayed and the muffler showed up and I had it put on.
but it seems exactly like the old broke one and should be good.
Good fit. Easy to install.
Perfect
Factory one rusted out this was a good replacement
Front two nuts are easily removed with a socket with an extension and a ratchet. The rear two nuts are a bit awkward being directly above the muffler. I ended up using a open ended wrench to get the back two removed. I found it much easier to slide the new heat shield in if you remove the trailer hitch like the other review mentioned. Four, 18MM bolts hold the hitch in place and it’s worth mentioning that the nuts at the back of the hitch are welded to it. I used the same nuts that were on the original heat shield to reinstall the new one.
It was a bit rough getting the old one off (2 of the holes had rusted thru and it was rattling). Once i got the old one off, i realized it would be easier if i removed my hitch to get the new on one...which i did and it slid easily above my bumper. I decided to replace the stock "nut" with four 1/4" x 1 stainless steel washer along with a four M6-1.00 stainless steel wing nuts. this was easier to do then trying to get a wrench under there. I had my 14 year old son under there with me to hold the washer in place while i worked the wingnut onto the bolt. Again, this was a bit tedious to do, but once the wing nut was on, the process went smoothly and repeated it for all 4 bolts/nuts. It would be nice if the package included 4 of the nuts used to mount it originally as the originals were a bit rusty.
This OE part came well packaged and installed as expected.
Haven't tested yet but so far pretty satisfied
