Gibson Performance Aluminized Split Rear Exhaust - anyone have any reviews/comments on it?

Not looking for too expensive of a one, but would like a new sound and look... I like the dual pipes.

What's the difference between the 617303 & 17303 models tho?

Amazon has the 617303 for $375 shipped. Best Quadratec can do is $570 shipped.
They have the 17303 for for $272 shipped. Quadratec...$420

It looks like the 617303 would be the best choice for the money saved and assuming its the better model of the 2.

BUMP! No one wants to help me out? haha

Gibson is a great company, and one of the JK guys here has the 617303 catback on his jeep. It sounds really good and has a deep, mellow, somewhat throaty tone to it.

I also pricematch competitors

Thanks, Joe. PM sent, if you can respond that would be great.

I see you're in NJ. I would go with the stainless due to the salt around there.

My dad had the alumnized version and it fell apart at the welds at 10months. He has been rocking a stainless version for about 3 years now.

Yea, from Jersey here. That was a main thing I liked, can't go wrong with stainless. Not 100% set on the chrome part of it, but those are just tips and can always be swapped out if anything.

Any pics you can post?

But the money I can save on the stainless, it wouldnt make sense to NOT get it...it's only $100 more. Not just the salt, it's the fact that it's stainless - no need to worry about rust when the time comes. I want it to be like Ron Popeil.... "Set it and forget it!" ok, sorry for the lame joke....hahaha

Anyone have this on a 2012 Pentastar? Id love to hear a sound clip of it to decide.

I understand what you are saying, but like I said...i'm not gonna spray a brand new $500+ exhaust with $5 bedliner just to prevent it from rusting when I can just get it stainless. Plus, bedliner won't prevent it from rusting. If a tiny crack breaks the bedliner, water gets in and thats all it needs. When it comes to spending the extra $100 when i'm saving over $200 - it's sorta a no-brainer "IF" I infact was to go with this exhaust. I can always powder coat the tips if I wanted anyway, I have access to a powder coater...

I already have grab handles, so yea.....no.

I am now confused..... haha
