I have the Gibson dual on a 2010 Unlimited. Had it for about 8 months now. It is loud. Probably a little too loud. Pulling the hard top off for the first time this weekend and am worried about the noise. I do notice a little more horsepower over stock. Just a slight increase is noticed. Did smash one tip pretty good and the scraped the other on a pretty moderate drop off. I will pull the tips off next time. Quality seems to be good. Mine is painted black with a heat paint. I purchased it at a charity auction and Gibson installed it for free. It is welded on. I applaud Gibson for donating the exhaust for a fundraiser to help a bike crash victim. I was happy to give money and get the exhaust as a bonus. Would I buy another? Everything is great except the noise. It sounds awesome. My neighbors compliment me on the deep tone. But, maybe a little too loud for every day driving. Good quality, a little more power, but too loud. I think I would go with the single next time.

I have a magnaflo. I know this isn't about magnaflo. But I'd say drop the cash for that. Great sound, not too loud but definitely noticeable. I have noticed that a Lil more get up and go, accelerates quicke; I don't realize I'm pulling 3k rpms till I look at the tach. Not bashing Gibson at all I don't know their product but I'm definitely happy with the magnaflo.
If you do it yourself, get new rubber hangers, my hang up on putting it on was the hangers, total PIA.
