Click Here For the entire post i posed about my gibson when i first got it or you can just click the links below to hear what it sounds like. Five months later i am still happy with my purchase. Not too loud inside but you can tell i have a v8 under the hood.

hey 99, thanks. that sounds sweet. i don't have an 8 but i think it should still sound sweet with my 6. thanks again.

I thought you had an 8 either way you dont want something that is going to drive you insane. A friend of mine has a 95 firehawk with headers and a "loud mouth" exhaust. Im pretty sure thats what he said it was when i asked him. Well anyway anything more than 5 minutes in that car is painful especially at certain RPM's. I think you will like your Gibson.

Although i think i might have gotten screwed when i bought mine. I paid extra for stainless steel cause i wanted it to last. I was under the impression that the entire thing would be stainless not just the canister. My canister still looks new and my pipe has a light coating of rust on it. Oh well.

yeah, i think the gibson is right up my alley. a nice deep throaty sound and some muscle behind it when you hit 2k, from what i hear. and ya, i'm goin with the aluminized one. but i also thought ss would mean the whole thing. thats false advertising. oh well. hey thanks again.

Just chiming in here as another happy Gibson customer. I put it on about 8 months ago and am real happy with it. It is not obnoxious while cruising but definitely rumbles up when on the gas. I had flows on my mustang and used to get the worst headaches.......
I did get the stainless steel version. All the pipes look stainless to me, but maybe I was misinformed too? I have no sign of rust on any of the metal. The pipes and muffler look identical in materials?!?!
Another good thing....the Gibson hooked right up with absolutely no problems at all. I did not even jack up the car to install, did it all on the ground on the tires! Perfect fit! Can't say the same for some other brands I have used in the past.
I think you will be happy.
