I'm looking at getting the Gibson system. I know that the 2.5 will give you better torque because of the back pressure. The bigger the pipes, the less back pressure, the less torque.

Same one I'm looking at. The Dual Extreme. I saw it at Summit Racing for $378. I know of a company here in Vancouver that will put it on for a total of $450.

well thanks for the info the cheapest that i found it was for 509 but that was just from some shops here colorado springs plus when i talked to the tech from gibson he said that the application was very simple to put on they provide everything that you would need to install it yourself if you didnt feel like spending the extra money to have someone else do it

Yeah. Why buy something that shiny just to have it get all mard up. The aluminum is also a little bit lighter.

aluminumized...its still steel with a aluminum coating (for rust prevention) the stainless is lighter or the same as steel in these aplications... 304 stainless is lighter than steel or 409 stainless
