Now, for those with v8's - - I've sold a slew of the Gibson catbacks for the V8 with and without headers, there are Doug Thorley headers that I sell for the V8 that give 32 HP gain, not sure if you guys know about this? If you have a v8, then you might know how the factory headers crack aroudn 100,000 miles. The Gibson gives double the power with the headers.

I got it installed and it sounds great! Its a little louder then stock, but a nice deep sound and no drone.
This video is the Gibson catback with the Doug Thorley headers and Magnaflow high-flow cats that I sold the customer.
Also, if you're looking to do the headers on your V8, I recommend getting them now, even if you don't plan to install for a while. DT has a price increase in a few months and these will be going UP IN PRICE again, but right now the price is NICE.
Just got the Gibson installed on Friday and it sounds great. I'm getting the headers on next week then the intake after that and can't wait! Thanks to Jason B for hooking it all up!

Have a video of how it sounds? It's pretty hard to find a decent video of a V8 with the dual Gibson.
Found out the light rattle I've been hearing from the center of the cabin was the heat shield. I'll have to fix it or find a replacement.
Side by side with the old Walker Quietflow SS. Made it easy to remove without needing to cut off the OEM setup.
The bends are real nice on the new setup. The other setup had ribbed bends.
The dual side exit looks great. I almost thought I'd want to change it to a single setup, I haven't seen anyone post detailed pictures before. Glad I went with this configuration. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is why it rests on the frame of the truck. Maybe I missed something in the installation process.
Great, great photos!!! Thank you! IF you make a video and text it to me, I'll upload it to Youtube! Below are some other questions and quotes I added that should help answer any other questions.

Yes, after the system breaks in, the tone is just perfect if you ask me. Meaning, it's there, but hardly and disappears on the highway completely. I like to say very similar to a Escalade or Denali factory exhaust. This is prob the quietest system you can get, but still sounds great from outside.
Glad you noticed the mileage gains!

Correct. NOW, I want to apologize that these systems are taking LONGER to make than expected. I really appreciate you guys and you patience with this. I thought some of you might start yelling at me as they are taking longer than I was told. I will update this thread again soon with ETA's. I have not forgotten about anyone who ordered and all of you will of course get your systems!

Well, it will get you more miles to a tank of gas, so that's one good thing. I had one guys wife call to order a few days ago and she said, "Why do I need to buy this for my husband, when all it does is make more noise?" Lol, I told her it will help with gas mileage and then she chilled out a little. I'm am curious for you guys testing this out, I'd love to know how many extra miles to a tank highway this gets ya. I'm guessing maybe 25-30 which is cool if it's that.
Remember, JAN 1, is Gibson's price increase on ALL SYSTEMS. SO, keep ordering and as I can keep hopefully getting them to extend these sales with the more orders I give them.

any chance i can order just the rear muffler and tailpipe? i already have the single SS on my truck but i really like the look of the dual black side set up.

Hey, did you ever fix the issue with the rear pipe resting on the frame?
I just installed mine today, haven't tightened things down yet, but am having the same issue. Going to shift it around a bit tomorrow to see if I can get it set better.

You know I totally forgot there was this issue. I never figured out what to do. I'll be interested if you figure it out. I haven't really noticed personally though.
I have that issue too, its rattling when Idling. I love everything about it but the fitment. P

The wife got me the Gibson exhaust for Christmas, thanks Jason for assisting her with getting everything handled.
I installed it last night, super simple and no issues. I was also concerned with the pipe resting on the rear cross member but after putting my hand between the cross member and pipe and then tightening everything up I have no issues. Sounds great, little louder than I as expecting but I believe I read somewhere they tend to mellow with a few thousand miles on them.
