I voted for the MBRP. Not because I run it on my JK, but because it's the best bang for the buck.

I had the Banks Monster exhaust on my JK for about a year and was NOT impressed at all.

The workmenship was fair at best, the material I think is sub-standard, (of course it took time to find this out) Affter a year on the Jeep the exhaust started to rust in some spots and rattled in others. (don't forget the Banks is Stainless Steel) evidently cheep Stainless Steel.

Gibson, just a cheep exhaust all around. Never heard anyone who bought one that was happy with it over the long term.

As for my MBRP, it's been on my JK for about 10 months (Steve and the guy's from MBRP installed it last year in the Moab desert at the JK Jam) and I am very happy with it. NO ISSUES at all to date...........

Just wait until the exhaust breaks in! I think its best for a 4 door, since the tips are farther away from the driver. I can't imagine it on a 2 door.

MBRP still gets my vote for quality.

It's not one of the three choices, but I like my Woods kit. You get a choice of a 14"(louder, the one I got) or an 18"(quieter) muffler. It's all stainless, tucks up in the rear better than anything else I've seen(runs above the rear swaybar), comes with two different tips, and it sounds great. You will have to relocate your evap canister though.

had the Gibson dual exhaust... then it fell off while i was driving... they replaced it .. still wasn't crazy about the sound and performance.. so i got the mrbp relocated exhaust... so much better sound and performance.. the Gibson looked cool i guess but that was about it .. so i say go with the mrbp

Sorry, but No. Just can't get the time off from work this year. But NEXT YEAR is looking real good.

The exhaust is great, no issues at all. By the way, thanks for makeing the turn down exhaust tip.
