Default MBRP or Gibson Exhaust???

I am down to two exhaust MBRP or Gibsons cat backs?

Which one has more power gains?

Which one sounds better?

Which one is the quietest and does not sound like a rice rocket??

Thanks for the feedback

If you run a SEARCH on exhausts, I think you will find that the MBRP is one of the most regarded by current owners. There seems to be some dissatisfaction with the Gibson dual systems.

So the single exit pretty good? I heard that they are pretty quiet and sound good. Still have not heard one live and the sound bites dont do justice

I currently have the gibson exhaust, and I do agree. It does drown out at low rpms, but when you get on it, it sounds good. I have always had V8's in all my jeeps and was looking for a similar sound. Not to close, but not bad.

Thanks for the info. The general sensus is to go with MBRP. I am going to go with the standard placement Stainless catback system. will give you an update after I install
