The Gibson is available in both a stainless and aluminum version. Not sure on part number, i've just looked at them on Jason Brtmans site (burtmanindustries.com).

ARK, thank you for posting this, haha. I did not realize it had a stainless version also. That was actually my final decision between magnaflow or gibson...well just ordered the Gibson!

Sure!!! I'll also mention, it'd be pretty cheap to have an exhaust shop turn that out to the side. I think it cost me $30 to have mine done (stock exhaust though). The Gibson has been getting rave reviews, turn it out the side and it's perfect from what I hear.
Here's mine:

What exactly is the point of turning the tip out to the side?
How much is the stainless and aluminum versions?

Looks better and added a little volume on mine. Biggest reason was that it reduces the amount of exhaust fumes that come in when the rear window is opened. It also helps because I use a hitch mounted cargo carrier and it keeps the exhaust off of whatever it is i'm carrying.

Just had mine installed today. The guys at the shop I took it too were impressed with the quality (stainless version). Unfortunately they could not re-route it to the side so I would have to take it somewhere else for that, no biggie. I love it so far. It sounds so deep and aggressive, definitely louder in the cabin but only on acceleration, almost silent when cruising. They took an hour to put it in.

Just ordered the Gibson for my V8... can't wait! I would also like to get mine turned out to the side but it looks like there is a hanger real close to the end of the tailpipe already on the Gibson. Anyone have experience getting the Gibson turned out to the side? If so, what did the shop do? Just scrap the last hanger/add a hanger to the other side of the tip/other?
Thanks! I love Amazon Prime - 2 day shipping FTW!

Uhmmm.....I guess I wouldn't know. Not that I don't have a friend with a V8 that also has a Gibson exhaust or anything.
I have driven his and it sounds more throaty but not much more. But there is a difference. No disrespect to the V8's but don't think because you have a V8 your the

Thanks ultramontanist for the pics. So they cut up the last Gibson kit section and used the tip that came with the kit or used a universal tip? Couldn't tell for sure from all the mud! haha
Looks good though, I'm trying to decide if it is worth the hassle. I do think I prefer it to be out the side...

Yes, they cut off the last part of the Gibson and welded in a bend and then used the tip from the kit. Although, since I have put on a different Gibson tip because I thought the one that came with the exhaust was a bit big for my likes. I would definitely recommend routing out the side. It cuts down on the sulfur smell and increases departure angle, or at least you don't have to worry about smashing up your exhaust.

With the two stainless kit's Gibson has for the 4th gen 618707, 618708 the difference is the lengh of the head pipe that connects to the converter. It's about 3 inches shorter with the 618708.
I put the 618708 on my 2006 V6 and it had to be modified. didn't use the gibson coupler. I would say it has not helped with the MPG it may have made it worse at first with me getting on it. It just looks good, gave me ground clearance, and makes more noise.
