Is Gibson a good choice for exhaust?

Was wondering if anyone has a Gibson sport truck catback on thiers... I think i have seen an L with it, but i might have been a regular f-150.

Magnaflow has best overall reports! Installed complete system last weekend after lots of research and dyno results. Sounds awesome too!

I think the Borla is pretty tame compared to Bassani or Silver Bullit. Some guys run it but it's not loud enough for an old geezer like me! Got a Viagra stuck in my ear, made me hard of hearing.

ok, chikenears, you win. Looks like you need a eye exam or that viagra is causing blurred vision at the present time. Where did the "borla" is tame come from?

Had a Gibson on a 5.4 Expy. Way too quiet, way too little back pressure, way too much money for that. My $.02

Have you got a Borla exhaust system, Doc? If you like it, I love it!

In my opinion, there is only ONE exhaust system to have which will remain nameless.

Chikenears, where did you get your 20 in. wheels at? Those are the first ones I've seen that are designed like the '01 & '02 rims.

RUNVS?,

I got mine at http://www.thewheelexchange.com but there other places that sell them. Go to ebay and search for Lightning wheels. There you will see them, don't have to buy but you'll be able to see some of the vendors names and websites.

They've been around a little while, I'm surprised you haven't seen them.

Vinnie / Chikenears,
Did changing to the 20" wheels have any effect on your performance? Did you have to reburn your chip to get your speedometer to compensate for the taller rims?

Ken,

If you use 40 series tires you won't need a reburn. My speedometer, as far as I know, reads normal. I haven't checked my speedometer but the diameter of the tires is the same as, or real close to, 18's with 45 series tires. The ride is about the same, maybe a little stiffer but sure footed with Dunlop Sport 9000's.
