I initially ordered an AFE Rebel exhaust... needless to say I ended up returning that for what I would call safety concerns. This led me to find that Gibson had a system that was in my price range and as II had installed one of their exhausts on a 2003 Ranger years ago and was very happy with the overall quality.
As I began looking for new solution in the same price range as the AFE I found a Gibson Black Elite Dual Split Exhaust System. https://gibsonperformance.com/i-23266812-black-elite-dual-split-exhaust-system-stainless-69550b.html. I was able to find a system for under $600 shipped. I was able to install the new exhaust on my truck and while I have some direct feedback for gibson all in all it was a relatively straight forward install and took me about two hours with out me putting on a lift.
The sound is far better now and the truck is a bit more responsive and much lighter now and for the cost this was an excellent upgrade. As this is a daily driver and my run out to the desert todo some shooting I am not looking to build a race truck..... I have a Stage 2 Audi A4 that is my go to fun run car. So Dropping in a 1K+ exhaust system was not an option.
I will be adding upgrades such as an Intercooler and tuning, depending on the costs and overall actual gains. I will try to get a video of the installed exhaust in the next day or two. .
