Gibson split outlet exhaust on 2012 3.6
please help me out if you have any knowledge or experience on this. has anybody put the gibson dual exhaust on their 2012?? i really like the look of it and from clips i heard of pre-2012 jk's, it sounds good imo. i was going to have a super 44 or 80 put together but I'm worried that it won't turn out looking the way i want no matter how particular i am to the installer. i need to know asap because i want to order it monday morning so i can have it tuesday on my day off. please post sound clips and/or pics of it on a 2012 if you don't mind. i really appreciate any input i can get.

I'm gonna do it soon myself, my biggest thing is the sound... Is it gonna be too loud and how clean is it gonna sound!!! Really enjoying the quiet sound but really would like to do a few performance mods like intake and exhaust!! Already have the AEV mod... If anyone else has any other suggestions I would be up for them also!!!

I have it
Just had it installed. It looks great. Sounds pretty good. Sounds best under hard acceleration , under light acceleration ,it sounds a bit ricey. Overall , I'm pretty happy. Sorry , don't know how to post sounds and I am real busy moving now. Hope it helps

I put a Gibson split rear dual on a 2010 JKU auto. Nice deep throaty sound at idle, but an unbearable drown at mid range. The drone is so bad, Gibson mfr'd a special resonator to calm it some. Didn't bother with resonator. Bought a new 2012 JKU instead. That solved the power issue.
