Anyone heard these Gibson CFT mufflers?

They are a pretty interesting design....i wonder how they sound


Gibson Performance Exhaust - Trucks, SUV, Diesel, RV, and Marine. Performance Exhaust for the Enthusiast

Now that i compare Bassani mufflers....the design is similar just the gibson has an X instead of straight paths....

Flowmaster is "junk" that isnt even stainless steel....


But you'll be hard pressed to find another system that sounds as good as some original 40series flows do on a 5.0 with long tubes. Regardless of how popular they are and how bad they drone, the things are not quality mufflers, but they sound good from the outside.

My personal opinion of flow's isnt that they dont last....but read reviews on them. The general consensus of them is they arent a quality muffler and they dont perform well (although unless you are in a turbo/super charged car....the muffler doesnt matter n/a IMO).....go do some searches for flows....people will rag on them for being bad. My only point was that i dont care if a muffler is going to fall apart or doesnt flow the best, if it sounds great thats all i care about. Cause even flow's which people say are bad quality have been great for me.

Actually its less than 7rwhp even....

The quality of air can change those numbers more than a simple muffler swap on N/A cars. Now turbo cars.....completely different story.
