Has anyone had any experience with Gibson mufflers?
I've been doing so work to the underneath of my 97 LC, new diff and tranny fluid has morphed into new bushings, new tie rods, powder coating various bits, and now... Looking at that rusty exhaust with 9 bends and crushed pipe... i think we can do better.
The current system is running two cats (back to back) to a 9" round 24" long Toyota muffler then to a series of snake like bends around the frame and axle out the back of the steel bumper I believe all the piping is a 2.25 ID
I'd like to eliminate all the bends and run a single hi flow cat to a shorter muffler to a simple turn down before the rear axle all at 2.5" ID
This Gibson unit intrigues me:
Gibson CFT Muffler actually tunes your exhaust by using resonance chambers, directional louvered tuning ports and angular induction to draw exhaust gases into the muffler and expel it at a higher velocity. They feature a Chambered and louvered core, Non-packed muffler to ensures no sound degradation overtime and fully welded solid internal construction, This result delivers more power with a deep tone.
They have off set models that I think will tuck pretty high leaving a good amount of clearance and frame protection.
Gibson Performance Exhaust - CFT Superflow Offset/Center Oval Muffler, Aluminized #55192!
I found this sound clip of a FJ cruiser with a Gibson split exhuast but I don't know what to make of it.
even in stock trim the fj cruiser sounds like a sports car vs a truck.
