Question So Far Very UNIMPRESSED with Gibson Split

Gibson Split Duals installed today @ 1800 miles. So far very unimpressed!.
When they started the truck to back it off the rack, I COULDN'T hear it idle. On the drive home, I could tell there was something different, but nothing like the Flowmaster I had on my previous Explorer. And I have read a lot of posts to know that I need to give it time. If it doesn't get louder, look for a classified for sale. One Gibson Model 9504
low mileage, hardly used, make an offer.

I was also unimpressed with my Gibson split rear when I first heard it. Where was the rumble. Now I have had it on for about 7000 miles and am very happy with it. At times I wish it was a little louder at low RPM's, but when I get on it I can feel the rumble. I don't feel like sacrificing sound for performance. After installing the Gibson I a now able to get my 285's spinning whithout a problem. Also it may be my imagination but I think my system has gotten a tad bit louder over time. Not much just a little bit.
