    I priced a Gibson 9508 cat back Kit for $483 (dual exhaust straight out the rear. Uses 1.75" Pipes and 3" tips.) I like how it sounds, anyone on here have this system on their ranger? Was it easy to install, how is the quality and how is the sound in person?

  3. I just watched a video on youtube of this setup, it sounded pretty good. But it was on a 3.0. The 4.0 sounds better lol

    I think we saw the same video since I only found 2 ;). It does sound goo and the setup has a lifetime Warranty :D so thats another appeal, I am little disappointed that the pipes are 1.75" instead of the OEM 2.25" but oh well :p. My mom is aware of the setup so I might be getting it for Xmas? Who knows lol
     
  5. Is there a muffler on it? If not, I don't blame them for it because you need some backpressure to make power. And the 3" tips will make it look better haha

    Not sure, it might just be a resonator but in the description it states that it a muffler.
     
  7. Oh, okay. Probably a performance muffler. Some kits (like LMC) have resonator tips in place of a muffler. They're like glasspacks on the end of the tailpipes lol

    what the difference between a performance muffler and reg muffler.
     
  9. Flowmaster and OEM. Haha. More baffles creating more backpressure and less efficient exhaust flow. Just like a performance intake, factory ones are restrictive with all their molding, while a performance or CAI is a straighter pipe. Know where I'm going?

    gotcha :)
     
  11. But too much backpressure is a bad thing... Is it 1.75" before the muffler? Or does it split off into 1.75"before after the muffler?

    I know you have the OHV so it might sound different but how is it in person?

    I am curious to know how difficult this kit is to install and how long it would take to install it?

    Make ur own exhaust or get tht bendable exhaust stuff at advanced auto. Its a lot cheaper and more simple doing it this way and ur exhaust will b loud af
    But a good badass loud.
