Personally, I'm going for the aluminized single Gibson cat-back. True, =
stainless will last longer, but you can find plenty of coatings on the =
market these days to seal your aluminum system before you install it. =
Again it won't be stainless but it will be a hell of a lot cheaper(even =
stainless systems rust out eventually). I also have a 4x4 and it does =
see truckl duty for everything from fishing trips on muddy, rock ridden =
logging trails to occasioanlly hauling my 20' Glastron and the single =
swept side exhaust has better clearance than the dual exit. I can't =
speak from experience, but I believe the dual set gives less low end =
torque than the single as well.
For my money, the single swept side is the way to go on a 4x4. And I =
know it sounds nice without being obnoxious!

Subject: All,
A little long!
I know this has been discussed before, but I am still in a dilemma. I =
have

I want an exhaust that will give me maximum hp and sound healthy, but =
not
too healthy. I am looking at the Borla or Gibson. Any suggestions? I =
have
heard that you can't fit dual exhaust with the spare on the 4x4 is this
true? If so does the dual exhaust and the single side exhaust deliver =
the
same hp? =20
Also, is the aluminized Gibson going to rust out over the years or =
Should I
get the stainless? I live in Michigan and salt loves the metal. =20
Thanks for your help,
Todd
