I have a Gibson Stainless Steel Dual Sport exhaust on my truck, and I like it a lot. I've also heard a lot of good things about magnaflow systems too.

with the aluminized the only thing you have to look out for is rust. i am a licensed gibson carrier. the best thing about the stainless is that it comes ith a lifetime warranty against rust through

Isn't the aluminized cheaper?? And it is more rust resistant than stainless?

I was very disappointed in the SS Gibson Cat Back I put on my Ranger. I paid extra for this Very poor quality SS & it DROOOOONED in the cab.

i love mine...but i also have the ceramic coated headers... and yes the aluminized is cheaper...

if you're looking for something loud, gibson is definitely not it. go with flowmaster series 40. gibson was made more for performance, not loudness. it has a really nice growl to it.

if you want to find out more, email this guy Josh

sportztrailersjosh@comcast.net

and tell him you are from f150online and he'll cut you a heckuva deal and help you out all he can

Why concerned?

Why are you concerned about stainless in the northeast?

I have had "aluminized" exhaust (Flowmaster) rot through in about 3 years here in Upstate NY.

I won't buy an exhaust for my new F150 that isn't stainless.

Smae here I had a flowmaster force II on my truck for 2 years and it rotted aprt from the road salt. I replaced it with a Magnaflo im happy with it plus it also gave me a power gain also and the tips arent welded on either so it I want to change them I can. Especially here in the NorthEast where its saltsville USA in the winter

I'm happy with my Gibson SIDO... great sound - not raspy and should last since it's stainless.
