I dont have one, but they seem a tad pricey for what it is, but I cant really say that without having experience around one... Sorry man...

I had/have the Extreme Duals

Bolted right on and fit perfect.

Took it off after a few miles as it was not what I wanted. I was changing systems faster than I was changing my oil.

On the highway you could hear it, not too loud, but it was "there". Step on it and you heard it for sure. At idle a low deep rumble, again not too loud.

I still have the head pipe that bolts to the factory "Y and the 3" in dual 2.5" out if someone wants to buy it. No tails, just add you own, or 90*s and have the Super Truck system.

Like new in aluminized mild steel and IIRC way less than 1000 miles. Make offer

Will send pics in email if someone wants

Without getting into another pissing match, the one in my sig.

I work building race engines so everything I do must be quantified and show real world results. My self designed system did just that, and sounds perfect to me. Most people would hate it as it is LOUD WFO or towing, but I just turn up the tunes if it does bother me on long trips.

It is the most power I can get without having to change to long tube headers with merge collectors. I am not looking to get every last drop of HP out of it, just did some simple things to it. I get my HP and TQ fix at work.

Any questions just ask. I will help if I can.

Just tell us what exactly what you are looking for sound wise etc, and someone will have what you are looking for.

If you want to try the Gibson and just get some pipes made up, I will make you a deal on what I have.

I hope you just don't waste as much time and $ as I did before finding what you want. Man I can die when I think about the $ I threw away.

Good luck!

I had the Gibson super truck side exits on my old Ram. Very good quality, had it for 8 years, no probs. Sounded real good at idle, some droning at speed. I had to end up getting an amp and more speakers so that i could hear my stereo.
