Gibson split rear exhaust sytem advise

[J_lope82]

I am looking into maybe buying this cat back system from summitt. It is the gibson split rear cat back exhaust system for my 94 chevy c1500 5.7L TBI extended cab. Does any one here have any experience with this system? I am looking for a moderate sounding exhaust system with little drone, good looking and that will last a long time. This one just happens to be stainless steel which hopefully will last me a long time.
i am also looking at the gibson single 3" side swept which on summitt advertises more horsepower and torque. They both include chambered and baffled muffler.

No experience with the dual Gibson systems, but I'm running this single 3" kit on my V6 truck.

Was going for the factory look with the single side-exit tail pipe, and it does a good job of that. It's a little drone-ish at part throttle, but livable on the highway. Not extremely loud, but loud enough for me. I'd do it again for sure.

Thanks, did you notice gains in horsepower and torque?

Eh, maybe a little... Not much at all, though. Truth be told I thought I was noticing slight butt-dyno improvements with all the bolt-ons, but the real difference came when I had the PCM tuned by Black Bear. That was a night and day difference compared to literally everything else I've done to the truck.

I just installed their 3" single exhaust on my 98 with a 454, I'd recommend. It's not a ton louder over stock in the cab unless you have the windows down, but it gives it more rumble than stock.

Do you have any pictures of the tailpipe and tip installed? Where did you buy it at? I've been looking at this for my '96 crew cab dually and been shopping all around.

Nope, not even with the camper on.

I bought this from a 4wd shop and it was the last one they had on closeout for $200. Too good of a deal to pass up.

Thanks a lot for the pics, looks like a nice setup. Sure would like to find one as cheap as you did...

I have a 1998 Chevy Ext Cab with 5.7/automatic 2wd. We installed the Gibson SS 2.5" dual rear exit with bowtie tips along with a Magnaflow SS y pipe (new cats needed old ones were shot), Granatelli mass air flow sensor, K&N Filtercharge cold air intake. The sound on the system is kind of loud at idle, but barely noticable in traffic. Noticed some hp gain, but the other benefit was better fuel mileage, too. Love it!!!
