Banks or Gibson Duals

[ecbmxer]

I've narrowed my exhaust choices to either a banks system or gibson straight back stainless-steel duals. I didn't like how the borla, etc came in front of the rear diff so I am down to these 2 systems. I have heard sound clips of both and can't decide. I like the dual exhaust aspect of the gibson, but from the sound clips the banks has a better sound. From those of you who have these systems or have experienced them both, which is a better all around exhaust. I want minimal drone, especially on the highway but want a good sound. I am assuming that the gibson can fit around the spare from reading posts on the site. Also, did anybody notice any low end losses from either of these systems and what kind of gains were seen.

Thanks!

I think the Banks may be a better choice. I've heard that some have had low-end loss in torque with the Gibson.

I have the Banks and can answer a couple of your questions. The 5" tip causes the cabin drone to about double. Right now I don't have a tip at all, and just might leave it that way. Also, the Banks crosses right under the receiver hitch. If you already have the hitch installed fine, but if you are intending to add a hitch the exhaust will make it difficult. Otherwise, I have no complaints. The Banks is quality, sounds good and is easy to install.
