gibson catback

[silverado13]

has anyone had any experience wih a gibson catback

 

[RAGMC]

Ive had several on 2 different trucks and my personal experience and opinion there junk. Both mufflers after a few years started rattling and had to be replaced.

Flow master or magnaflow

 

[silverado13]

im trying to avoid getting flowmasters, i dont like the sound

 

[Bonecollector]

Magnaflow kit would be good then, I like the flow master on my 94, changing the exhaust on my 2005 to a magnaflow

I had a Gibson system on my '01 Suburban. Living in Philly the salt just ate it away in the winters. It fell apart. It only took about 4 years. I just put the factory system back. Might consider another system (flow master). Hope that this helps

Magnaflow kit would be good then, I like the flow master on my 94, changing the exhaust on my 2005 to a magnaflow

spent $750 of a magnaflow catback for my 1997 when i first got it and it got pinched by a car lift when i was getting new tires, dont think ill be spending that much again on one

I have to recommend corsa, that's my choice for when I replace the exhaust on my 2000 they have a few options for our trucks. I'm actually planning on the cross db kit for mine when the time(money) comes.

i did not think of corsa....wish i would have before i ordered my catback today, because ive heard good things from them, it came down to the gibson super truck catback, and a borla catback, i ended up going with the gibson after reading yalls responses for 2 reasons, here in the south, i dont have to worry about salt, and multiple people said it lasted them for 4 years.......at the price i paid for the catback, if it last 4 years id be more then happy, especially because i tend to change up exhaust setups ever 3-4 years anyways, i didnt get the borla becuase i couldnt find a reasonably priced system in 2.5 pipe, they were all 3 inch or bigger, and i dont want to have to play with adapting it

Well update us on how it goes I kinda need quiet at cruise because my baby daughter rides with me every morning to daycare. But regardless updates are required.

 

[silverado13]

should be here on the 13th, so next weekend it would be put on, but i have to do a write up because tomoorow my denali cluster should be in, yeah im excited

 

[962000chevy]

I'm kinda new to learning about these trucks what does the denali cluster provide?

 

[silverado13]

displays up to 120 mph, and tranny temp

you can also swap a escalade cluster

but i couldnt get one at a resonable price

 

[962000chevy]

The 120 is useless to me lol I've been fast in a trucky hypertech eliminated governor and its not fun to me. But trans temp is interesting. Definitely wanna see pics and swap info.

 

[silverado13]

psh, i have a caddy cluster in my 1997 and had the govenor taken off and have pegged the needle at 120, gmps got me up at 130, that was my irresponsible age but i like havuing the ability to, like if im running from a tornado or something

 

[962000chevy]

l used my 2000 to show a stock ( I'm guessing) mustang I liked fun too and I had my stock cluster pinned but thats not for me on the interstate.

 

[silverado13]

the suspension in my 1997 is loose as hell so its scary going over 100, thats why i decided to grow up and not die

 

[962000chevy]

That was my reasoning too and also passing a Georgia highway patrol car while your needle is pinned is a scary thing. I decided then I prefer speed limits and cheap insurance.

 

[silverado13]

i got pulled over for doing 99 in a 55 in a run down dodge neon, almost had him convinced that the car wasnt capable of going that fast, still got the ticket

 

[962000chevy]

Guy never hit the lights. Passing him felt like slow motion. I slowed down and haven't broken 80 since.
