Not sure Mike, they stated they had both for the 97's, but I never
asked about earlier years. The single system is a 3" pipe behind the
cat, and all factory in front of the cat, size unknown to me. The
reason I am going with the single because I am only interested in
torque, and in the lower RPM range for four-wheeling. I want a direct,
bolt-in, Remove and replace system, and do not want to have another
pipe under the truck to worry about....
Gibson has a 800 number, but I lost it. Give them a call and ask...
