gibsons suck imo, i know alot of people that have them and they sound like crap, and they never fit the factory hangers the right way, just go with a magnaflow or flowmaster, be alot cheaper and sound alot better

Just have Midas build you a custom exhaust. Might cost the same/more, but you won't have to do it and it will sound a lot better then a Gibson.

well idk a buddy of mine bought a gibson for his 08 dodge, and it was like 480 bucks, get a maggie or flow (40series) and get them to put it on turndowns or run the tips out how you want them to and im pretty sure itll be alot less than that, and you wont have to saw that factory exhaust off, bang the hangers around until they fit and then clamp/weld it on

man no offense, but i prefer my gibsons over flowmasters or maggies. i've had flowmaster, raven, true duals... once you get the gibsons broken in, they're awesome. i CAN'T hear mine in the cab but it rumbles behind the truck.

THEN again.. my truck gets enough attention as it is.

here's some clips....

Gibson makes nice stuff, just not super loud. If you dont want to wake up the neighborhood, Gibson is a very good choice.

Dont get a flowmaster, it'll drone in the cab and rust holes through it after 2 years. Hell mine was only on a year and was rusting already, and im not in a state with heavy salt. Magnaflows wont rust through but it will have surface rust and turn rusted color.

I personally would go with Borla. Great sound, t-304 stainless which wont rust, wont even have surface rust. Super high quality so you dont have to replace your exhaust again.

Mine shouldn't rust for a while. It never gets cold here in GA which means no ice and no salt on the ground.
