 Subject: MBRP or Gibson...opinions?
IP: Logged
Message:
I know each system would sound different, I am looking to get the single stainless cat back system for a 97 Dakota 4x4 w/EC and 318.
MBRP S4020 or Gibson 616507
What is the relative difference between the two systems? Is one louder than the other?
One better than the other?
I am looking to stay on the quiet side.
Thanks,
William

William,
I have an MBRP muffler on my Durango, and if you don't want loud, go with something else. The MBRP is very loud exterior, but not bad interior. I like a loud exhaust, that is why I went with the MBRP.

I have mbrp duals and it sounds awesome outside but quite on the inside. My friend put a gibson s.s. cat back on his 97 wrangler and I found the quality to be a little less (tubing,welds,muffler) than the mbrp.

Thanks for the replies, I guess it is best that I stay with Gibson for a more mellow sound. I am not looking to be heard, I just want to GO.

I concur. I just put a MBRP cat back dual system on my Dak last Saturday. Awesome! I don't know about hp gains but the truck does seem peppier. Call Jonas, his price on this is over $100 cheaper than ordering direct!

Go with the MBRP. I'm very happy with mine. Had it over a year. I think I was one of the first to get one for my year. Quality, fit, and finish are excellent.

I had a gibson single before i put on my MBRP dual. I love the sound of the MBRP, it is by far the best sounded exhaust out there. But if you're looking for quiet, go with the Gibson, i loved it for its sound also. But i just wanted more, and the MBRP delivered. Im hopeing to get some more sound of the MBRP by removing my 3rd cat, but i have yet to get off my lazy a$$ and do it.

MBRP all the way! Glen, you HAVE got to do the straight piped cat. It makes a huge difference. It makes that MBRP just plain mean sounding.
They are tough, made very well, and sound awesome. Not to mention, they actually do help ya out a bit and it's a flow through design. I have no experience with the Gibson, but I can vouch for the MBRP. I have an extra MBRP sticker if anyone is interested.

Due to our local noise emission laws (even the original R/T exhaust is too loud for Switzerland and must be "down-graded" by an additional rear muffler) I choose the Gibson dual rear exit exhaust.
Of course it is way too loud for Switzerland but before they can fine me they have to catch me ;-)
I like the sound of the Gibson. It is deep and mellow, produces a nice sound on the inside and is loud outside - but not much.
A good choice if you don't like it too loud.

I still have my gibson stainless single catback. If anyone wants to buy it. I'll have to clean it up and take some pictures of it, i only had it for at the most 8000 miles (i have 41k already). I do like the sound of the gibson, but i wanted to show off so i got the MBRP, otherwise the gibson is a nice catback.

I have the Gibs Dual Sport and love it-as do my friends. Within the first month I had about 30-40 people tell me how awesome it sounds. Performance gains with an intake are very noticeable too.

Ihave a gibson cat back on my 95 4.0 Cherokee and it gave me an honest 1.5 mpg increase over the stock system. It is a little luoder than the stock ,but is a nice mellow tone.Also sounds as mellow as stock at cruising speeds. would have put one on my 96 DAK, but nobody makes crap for us Gen 2 guys so I put a flowmaster terminator on my Dak and its louder than the gibson. hope this helps.

No question about it, get the MBRP exhaust it kills the Gibson and you will love the sound. Why add on something that sounds similar to what you or ready had!
