I disagree. The Borla's sounds depend on the engine it's connected to.
When you get your Gibson give me a holler and I'll come down there. I'll
bet we won't be able to tell the difference between the two.

I used the Borla on the Stang and they are like the Rice Cans with a deep
rumble. However, on the Gibson it is the opposite sound. It is more like a
Muscle car. Take your pick.

I have a couple of questions about the Gibson cat-backs.

1.) Are there any compromises with the split dual rear setup? Spare tire
problems or otherwise? I personally like the dual sides, but thought this
should be asked.

2.) Are the Super Truck setups available with the exit before the rear
wheels, like the mid-90'ish F-150s?

3.) What is the advantage of stainless over aluminum? The website says that
they both carry a lifetime warrantee. Are they banking on the aluminum
lasting long enough that not many people are gonna come back for their
money, or will it actually last?

4.) Truth be told, I really like the Borla setup better, but might jump on
this for the pricing. Who has experience with the Borla and/or Gibson
behind a 4.7? Y'all let me know how they sound if you have any idea.
Christmas is so close, yet so far...

BTW, Steve St. L, I was going to ask you about the heat shields for the
Z-Tube today, but you beat me to it. Intense Perf. is backed up on orders
and mine will be another two weeks or so. Are you going to pursue a heat
shield if nobody else offers?

The difference is the dual split rear exits out of the rear of the truck.
The dual sport has the two pipes coming out the rear, but they are both in
the stock location. Check out www.gibsonperformance.com for pictures of the
different systems.
