I completely agree with Gibson. Most don't like the look though, but very nice sound. The stomp is much nicer!

I'm not sure Flowmasters are the best performance wise or quality wise as they aren't Stainless steel but sound wise they seem to be the best. I had one for quite a few years probably 2 and several years probably before I got it and while it was rusty it didn't rust through that I saw just surface rust. I replaced it and had them use a Flowmaster again and the sound is just worth it to me. IMO they sound great.

I test drove a '04 hemi with a gibson dual exhaust out the back, it was nice but for me a 21 i wasnt into it being tht loud it got plain annoying just on the test drive. I got an '05 and put a Gale BAnks Monster exahust on it and love it exactly what i wanted..

Found a Gale Banks Monster Exhaust system online for 475 with free shipping on Ebay. Comes with 3 inch SS pipes and 6x5 ss welded on tip. Going to buy mine soon! Have not heared a lot about them but the little i have heard I think it is what i am looking for.

i really like it its not too loud but loud enough when your on it. My friend and i were messing around and he said when i passed him it sounded sick!! I got it at 4 wheel parts for 455 shipped.. O would deffinately reccommend it, i have been getting better mpg too, not much like 1 or so more.. but let me know if you get it and what you think.. It took 2 hours to install on my driveway.. good luck

I also had a 95 jeep cherokee and put a 40 series flowmaster on it and really liked it, i just sold that to get my RAM tho.. I still have my 93 wrangler lifted with all good stuff and custom exhaust also with a 40 series and teh two trucks sounded very different, but fo rthe ram i really like the GAle BAnks system overall!! I have heard 40 series flowmaster really loud with not the kinda tone i like, mine with the gale banks, and teh gibson, its a personal preference.. just my .02
