They're around here somewhere. I don't know if they've done 4.7's yet or
not. Awhile back on the DML there was something about Gibson wanting test
vehicles. I don't remember if it was this month or last but look in the
archives. At the time I got my cat-back from Borla (June '00) they were
getting ready to release the 4.7 version too so I know there's a Borla
cat-back for 4.7's. You can give Gibson a call at (909) 372-1220 and ask
for Shawn.

Check this item out from an earlier discussion.

>>Just got my truck back from Gibson this morning. They used it as their
 Dakota V6 4X2 test vehicle. They had it for two days putting together a
 custom exhaust that would put out the best performance for that engine.
 They
 came up with a 2.5" Proto Type Single Exhaust System.

 I thought I would share with all the V6 owners the dyno results of adding
 this particular Gibson exhaust to their V6 Dakotas. Now, I am not into the
 total technical wording of the this test, but the guy told me that even
they
 were surprised by the end numbers. Roughly, the exhaust add about 8.6
Power
 and 10.4 Torque. If anyone would like see the paper let me know I will
send
 them a copy.

 If anyone is interested or would like more information about a system for
 their truck give Gibson a call (909) 372-1220 and ask for Shawn.

My friend just got a 2000 4.7L 5 speed and wants to put a cat back exhaust
on it. What makes more power, single 3 inch or dual 2.5 inch exhaust?
