I have the Gibson dual and I like it. It sounds great. You won't notice much difference in performance of any exhaust unless you swap out the intake also. I have the AEM Brute Force intake and the combination makes for a nice boost.

There is a guy two houses down from mine that has the Gibson dual on his JK and I think it sounds like a rice burner compared to my Magnaflow single

i have the dual gibson and i have never been happy.

loss of power is the biggest problem.

sean gibson at gibson knows about the problem. i have had several conversations with him and he even admits on his dyno that the dual does not gain HP. yet they still sell it and make HP gain claims.

sean at Gibson claimed that I needed headers to get the HP gain, so he sold me headers for cost ($100). I didn't want to install headers on jeep so I sold them (new in box) for $300 - at least I got back most of my money for the crappy exhaust.

i do however, like the way it looks.
