I've heard the Dynomax system and personally I much prefer the Gibson.
As those who have heard my truck can tell you, it's a very deep rumble
at idle and it has a nice sound throughout the powerband, getting a
little raspy above 4000rpm. IMO, the dynomax is raspy all the time.
However, YMMV.

In my case, it freed up some upper rpm horsepower but took some of the
low end grunt, since I'm using a single 3" setup and in reality I should
probably have a single 2.5" setup, but I couldn't find a 2.5" gibson
setup and I really wanted the sound. It might have given me a little
increase in fuel economy but I'm not sure.

All around it was a great choice, I'd definately do it again. Chad from
Muscletrucks.net can sell you the Gibson, he gave me a really good deal
on it.

These are two very mild modifications and will not require an injector
swap or PCM reprogram. If you did however want to upgrade your PCM and
can get your hands on a 93 MP PCM for a 3.9, I'd highly recommend that
if you're willing to run premium fuel all the time.
