Anyone with the Gibson exhaust on your V8 4Runner mind taking some quick videos of the exhaust outside and inside? I'm trying to decide and about to pull the trigger and order it but it's so hard without hearing it. From what I can find searching here and YouTube there are only 2 videos and neither are all that great...( a lot of background noise). Thanks! Jason

I've heard they're great too. For those who have them, have you noticed and mpg incrase?

I have to agree with this. I tried taking some videos of it with my iPhone inside and out and they just didn't work well.
The exhaust sounds sweet so far though. Now I just need to figure out how to get it all tightened up and use these clamps properly...
Heres a video of mine. It's on a V6, but i think it sounds pretty much the same, maybe a LITTLE more grunt. Mine should match the V8 since i have the stage 2 AFE CAI

Here's mine: 2004 4RUNNER 4.7 V8 Gibson Cat Back - YouTube
If I get time tomorrow, I'll make a new video with some interior recordings. Need to figure a way to minimize background noise.
I love mine, but I didn't notice any increase in MPG. I certainly drops when I get on it, but I absolutely love the sound. I really like that I can hear a nice little rumble without being at WOT.

HAHA :lol: Id love to hear your reasoning behind this! A V6 will never sound like a V8!

I like the price of the Gibson but really want the Magnaflow Cat-Back. I like how the tips point out sideways behind the tire and generally like the look better. Also, I like the stainless steel construction over the aluminum construction of the Gibson. I'm just waiting for the Magnaflow to go on sale and dip below $500 before I get it. Right now it's priced at $618.64 but a month ago the Magnaflow was $475

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!:guitar3:

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.
