Does anybody know if Gibson is basically the best Manufacturer and best options for a Cat-Back Exhaust System for my 08 250 Truck? I have looked all over the net...and have come to this conclusion. I also thought about purchasing a couple nice muffler's and just having the local exhaust shop, custom bend me a "Real Nice" true dual exhaust from the cats back. Also thought about eliminating the cats alltogether and just going from there back to dual side exhaust, any thoughts?

Much Appreciated!

 

did you price out MBRP exhaust? check on ebay to give you an idea of cost...Gigger

 

@gigger-ya, checked them out too...they only list kits for up to 07, nothin for the new bodies? I found that quite common with about 3 different manufacturer's. With as large of a campany Flowmaster is, you would think they would have some options, but even they only had one very simple, single exhaust cat back system. Where as Gibson has 9 different options with choices fo stainless to boot.
Thanks for the reply...

 

Have you listened to soundclips of the Gibson cat-back exhaust kits? I searched Gibson's website and found 4 design options in either aluminized steel or 409 SS for a 2008 F250 CC SB truck.

there is nothing wrong with Gibson exhaust...Gigger

 

Ya I did listen to what they had online...the Stang sounded good, but when doesn't a Mustang with an Exhaust Kit sound good-lol! I'm pretty sure that I'm going with the Gibson Kit and gonna have a Cat eliminator piece made up down at the local muffler shop.
Thanks again...

 

Dont be afraid of Gibson. I put a dual extreme SS kit on my last F-150 in 2004, and the guy that bought the truck from me still has it on there and still sounds good and not a spot of rust anywhere-looks like it was put on yesterday. The kit was very easy to install, everything was there. Great product IMHO.

 

I am going to purchase the Gibson Exhaust and get a Cat eliminator pipe made up. I appreciate the feedback, Happy Truckin!
