Ive got a Gibson with Turndown tips...they sit at a 45 out each side, its got a decent growl at idle, but at highway speeds its very moderate in the cab. Hope this helps bud!

We have a Gibson swept side. Sounds a little deeper, not much different in the cab. We notice it most when decelerating from highway speeds. Doesn't sound anything like an 8 though. Overall we believe it was a good purchase. |

My Gibson is great and highly recommend it. Mine is the V8 and has a nice tone with minimal cab noise. Scott, you can meet up with me sometime if you want to see it .

Let hear it for the Gibson. Have their cat back. It lets you know somethings there, but doesn't get on your nerves. |

While on the exhaust system subject, has anyone removed the catalytic converters on their truck? I think back to the late 70’s early 80’s everyone was cutting them off and getting an extra 5-7 MPG on their cars. I know the technology has changed, but is their a performance or MPG boost by replacing them with the straight pipe?
Now I am not expecting to get flamed by tree huggers with this question.  After all this is a forum for the largest evil SUV we can lay our hands on.

I am running stock cats and muffler on a 2003 V-10. Anyone try running without muffler(put in a straight pipe instead)but keep the cats. I have done this on Mustangs and its sounds good and not very loud(ie:wife even thought it was OK)).
I am looking at picking up some MPG's. I am building a smooth flowing "Y" pipe now. |
