the one i used is 275.88 from summit.i never checked jeggs price on a flowmaster 17345 kit with the stainless steel 3.5 inch tip they even have a cheaper one minus the tip.
a little gentle bending and the 04 gas kit fits the 05.06
this muffler shop smells money and is out for a rip off. gage what if you spend that 500 and don't like the sound? find another shop man.stay away from midas and meineke. and the likes

I put a Gibson Swept Back cat back system on my 04Ex v10 lying on my back in the driveway in about hour and a half. Took off the stock unit as one piece (had to remove the right rear shock for clearance, but was going to change them out also) Now I have it stored if I need it, it just slipped off the cat outlet after removing clamp. Gibson system used all the stock mounting points, sounds good too (for a v10)

The shop I went to doesnt have the muffler for my truck, he said the he would install it for $60I would have to bring my own muffler. All he was going to do is cut out my stock muffler and in stall the after market one.
The $500 system is from performanceproducts4trucks.com that price was for their Stainless steel Gibson Dual Sport Exhaust system. I was going to install that myself.
The kit for $460 was for the Gibson Stainless steel Swept Side Exhaust

Gibson sent me an E-mail.. I was asking about thier Extreme Dual Exhaust system for the 2005 V-10
"We have not yet built the Extreme Dual for your application. It is in the works but will not be available for 4-6 weeks."
So I might just wait till that kit comes out.
That kit is where the tailpipes come out at an angle one one each side
What do you guys think? ~Gage~

I have the FM 70. the shop welded mine on with along the hangar for $60.
As far as mileage, my truck is a 2001 and the FM70 in combination with a K&N filter had no effect on mileage. I also removed the 2" snorkle from the intake filter cannister and manufactured a 3" replacement in it's place and installed headers. While I don't think I increased horsepower or torque I have better throttle response and it winds up past 2000 rpm's easer.

I just called Gibson today I asked them about their Extreme Dual Exhaust for my 2005 SD V10 and they told me it should be avaible within 2 weeks=o)
So I might just get their cat back system.
What do you think looks better the single out or dual exhaust?
