Be careful...you will gain so much power that you mught break driveshafts or hit a wall from peeling out so out of control!

I was going to wait for the Banks headers and cat back, but are the Gibson's of that quality? I like the idea of dual exhausts.

Im also interested in this. I remember some guys saying how they werent happy with the performance after adding exhuast. Id like to hear long term results in mpg, power, torque, and just overall likability.

Somewhere in this forum a member dyno'd the single and dual, he ended up going with the single. I think the thread is in the write up section....

OK, here is the thread https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-write-ups-39/results-848/

Good info here.

i bought my gibson side swept from seal 20 actually....haha, it sounds nice, but the performance gain was nothing...I use it with an air raid which i def noticed the difference with....I tried talking to gibson, and their customer service was teh worst I Have ever seen.. Was told they would email me back, never did. I was told that with a cold air intake, their exhausts gains would be nullifed and in order to fix that problem you would have to buy their headers. But idk, I have yet to take it off haha.

I actually had it as the above post mentions. In my opinion, it really helped the high end of the RPM spectrum. On the highway in 5-6th gears it was most noticeable, down low, not as much.
