I never could get my tips exactly the same. But nothing on this truck is symmetrical from the factory. I found if you don't point it out nobody notices. And I got mine in 22 also picked it up for 650 at summit

Yeah, I tend to agree. The shop did a pretty good job getting them close to perfect.

Importan question for Gibson exhaust owners, how many people put the Gibson sticker on their Ranger?

I don't put stickers on my vehicle. I put them on my tool box.
No stickers, so far. Just curious. Some people load their rear window with stupid stickers.

When I was younger I had the back window of my truck plastered with stickers. My boss had to drive my truck one day and he asked me why I felt like the whole world needed to know all about me. I asked him why, he said because all the stickers read as an attitude. I purchased a sliding window for the truck and never put another sticker on a vehicle until covid when I had a huge sticker made for my camper hauler. It says only criminals wear masks. And it's still there.

If you are every in surgery, you better hope no one in the room also doesn't believe that.

The wife having to be away for the last 3 weeks, rode in the Ranger for the first time after getting the Gibson exhaust. I said nothing about it, and I am sure she competely forgot I had gotten it. She said nothing the whole time, not even after she drove it while I was at a meeting.
So I guess the way it sounds is just fine.

Got my Gibson installed yesterday. It sounds good but it's a little louder than I thought it would be. You can definitely hear it in the cab unless you are at speed and cruising. Driving the hilly backroads around the drone with all the shifting is kind of annoying. Anybody add resonators to the Gibson?

Can anyone tell the left pipe is 1/4" out further than the right?
Question. I believe those are 12" long tips. I want a different tip that are only 8", is there enough pipe for an 8" tip to fit?

I don't know. I don't know how much spacing overlap there is between pipe and tip. As it is, I think it really looks good with the tip position with the bumper. I can't see going with a shorter tip. When looking at it from the side, this tip just looks right with the bumper depth.
That said, this is what comes with the Gibson kit. I think it really looks and sounds great. I wouldn't change a thing.

I want a 3 inch diameter for mine but the only one I've found is an 8 inch. Yours looks great.
