Gibson Exhausts-which to choose?

[Jonny Boy]

I am debating whether or not to get an exhaust system for my 2000 mazda b4000. What are your opinions? If I would, there are a few to choose from. Swept side, split rear, or dual extreme?

 

[Jonny Boy]

I'm kind of leaning towards the swept side.

Columbus eh? I live around Wahoo! If it were me, I'd go with the split duals, I like how they look... But either way you go I think Gibson makes a pretty good exhaust!

Always love to hear from another cornhusker! Yeah, I just wish I could compare their noise in person.

i think all of them would be pretty good. Mostly a matter of personal preference as far as looks. I don't know how much louder or different sounding any of them are from another because they all use the same muffle just different inlet/outlet configurations. I had the dual extreme on my last truck and will either get that for my new ranger, or possibly a thrush. Gibson has very good fit and finish, performs well, has mandrel bent pipes etc. the only thing is they are not very loud but sound very good for a v6. I guess noise level is as much of a preference as exit style.

Yep! I make my way out to Genoa at least once a year... going to try for twice a year starting next year if I can!

I like the looks of the dual extreme, it sounds pretty good for a v6 then?

yeah definitely, just on the quiet side, only slightly louder than stock but better tone

great! thats pretty much just what I am looking for

yeah, camera audio doesnt do any exhaust system justice really, but here are some decent youtube links to the system on a ranger:

keep in mind they all have the same muffler, so regardless of exit style they sound about the same. these clips just happen to have the best sound quality imo
