ok, i thought i had decide what system to go with...I wanted to put a stainless sido on my '02 Scab long bed, and after it appeared that Gibson was the only option I had, the footnotes state that you have to remove your spare tire, which I think it rediculous. So does anyone know how I can accomplish a stainless dual exhaust and not worring about breaking down in BFE without a spare. (telling me to not go to BFE would be mildly amusing but not helpful.)

 

I had the same problem. I ended up installing a SI/SO because my spare was 18". If I had the 17" or 16" spare alot of the manufacturers told me I could install their system without loosing the spare.
Hope this helps!
