Gibson or Flowmaster cat back system

I was going to get a Gibson and that is like $250. I called my dealer and they referred me to their muffler shop and they only want $225 installed for the Flowmaster.Does anyone know which will give you more power.If so would appreciate your opinion.

Thanks,Mark

I have a stainless steel Gibson on my 2000 3.0 and I like it. The thing that you might not get at a muffler shop is the mandrel bent pipe and this does make a big difference in the exhaust flow.

I have the gibson on my 2.3 liter 94 model, it didnt bolt on perfectly. so i went ahead and got it welded. Here is a website where you can get the gibson for $200 [link:www.performancecombos.com|Performance Combos]
It probably gave me about 5-8 horses, and maybe 2-3 mpg more, but it sounds ok once it has warmed up.
