Gibson Exhaust now available

[Randy2400h]

Over the past few days I have tried installed two expensive accessories, a Diamondback cover and a Gibson exhaust. I am ZERO for TWO attempts. At least my Diamondback cover was repairable until the new one comes.

I checked every part and made sure all part numbers were accounted for before chopping into my old exhaust. Then I find out that the Gibson muffler I received was mis-built by Gibson. The inlet for the muffler on the stock muffler has 2.5” inside diameter, the Gibson muffler is 3” inside diameter and was supposed to have 3” to 2.5” reducer welded to the inlet side.

Thankfully I cut the old exhaust behind the outlet so I’ll at least have a muffler, but no resonator or tailpipe in the meantime.

I have wasted so much time this week. Definitely frustrated with my experience trying to add mods to this truck.

That’s no good. I just placed an order for the Gibson exhaust. Hopefully I don’t run into the same issue as you.

I did not have this problem. It went together fairly easily, working on the ground and, I did not cut the stock exhaust.

Unrelated question, how long did it take to receive after ordering?

I ordered on Sat. the 20th and it arrived Mon. the 29th.

Well, finally got everything correct and installed for my single exit Gibson. The hassle aside, it’s exactly what I was looking for in an exhaust. It looks and sounds great. It raises the exhaust tone just enough to hear the turbo spinning and the engine working hard without a hint of the hollow or buzzy sounds that come from 4-cylinder exhausts when the word “performance” is associated.

That is about how long mine took to get here, maybe a day or two longer

Just installed the Gibson single. Very pleased. Very easy install. Still quiet but if you listen you can tell it's there. Still in the break in period so I haven't floored it and wouldn't know the difference over stock. Truck is fast though. Got a k&n air filter as well.

Did you replace just the muffler? If so was it an exact replacement or were modifications needed?

Yes. Exact replacement, took around 45 min to install

What part # Gibson did you use?

 

[Mustang2Ranger]

Well I guess it's the kit not just the muffler but it's 619717B

OK, I was looking to replace the muffler only.

FYI, just checked Gibson website and #619717B is on sale for $543.54 save 48% over retail of 1045.29

Just curious why you would want to do that?

Kit comes with clamps and a nice tip, unless that is of no interest. To each their own I'm just curious ha

And especially as he said above if it's on sale that's a great price compared to what I paid when it first came out
