Default Gibson or Magnaflow?

Hey guys, I have an 04 1500 with the hemi. I have the cold air intake and looking to do a cat back exhaust. I cant decide if I should go with the maganflow or the gibson. They both sound sweet, but the magnaflow is 200.00 more. I know the magnaflow is stainless steel throughout, but is the extra money worth it? Tried searching but I didnt find anything. Basically what Im asking is, is the magnaflow worth the extra money, or just go with the gibson for like 400-500 bucks. Not looking to do anymore performance wise on the truck so just need a nice exhaust. Not looking to open up a huge debate, just a few opinions. thanks!

Yep the extra money is worth it. Buy a magnaflow and never look back.

I would certainly do Magnaflow but why cant you just buy the muffler on ebay and take it to a shop and let them bend and weld the pipes? It might be more cheap that way

Magnaflow all the way.

Not all stainless steel is created equally.

Thats what I did also when I had my Flowmaster. I saved a lot doing it that way but not all shops are equally priced so you have to shop around

Same here. I bought a magnaflow muffler and got it custom done so it exits infront of the rear tire. Only fisted me about $250 and sounds great
