HOW GIBSON is DIFFERENT
Power .. Gibson delivers it in the 2,000 to 4,000 RPM range where your vehicle needs it most. Systems from Gibson competitors claim more power in the 5,000-6,000 RPM range. How often is your street or towing vehicle really at WOT (wide open throttle) and spending time at those higher engine speeds?
Turbulence exists at every point the exhaust gas "pulse" enters or exits an exhaust component. Gibson reduces turbulence to the absolute minimum in two ways. First, the Gibson muffler with it's patented Superflow™ design which helps keep the exhaust gas velocity up to get the gases through the system.
Second, and most important in the reduction of turbulence, is Gibson's slip-fit connections of all components. (Each pipe fits into the larger opening of the next downstream exhaust pipe.) This method contributes limited turbulence when compared to the "ball and socket" or "flange and gasket" joining, which can rob the vehicle of power by creating turbulence and backpressure at each connection point. Even worse, a misaligned gasket or socket can create more backpressure than your factory exhaust system.
The sound of your exhaust system is probably also of concern to you. The split rear system and dual sport system will be about 5-8 decibels louder than your stock exhaust system. Gibson's quietest system is the single swept side. This kit produces a nice throaty sound outside, yet keeps sound levels heard in the cab just barely above stock.
Restriction in your exhaust system is created at two critical points; the muffler and at every bend of the exhaust piping. Gibson dramatically reduces restriction with their muffler design by using a baffled and chambered dynamic structure which delivers higher exhaust flow than a packed or screened muffler design. To further reduce friction, all Gibson exhaust tubing is mandrel-bent which keeps the interior flow channel size at every bend exactly the same size as a piece of straight tubing.
Not only is your stock exhaust piping small, but the factory's cheaper bending method further restricts flow as it loses shape and compresses at every bend (see image above).
Where does the power come from? There is a 34% (or more) exhaust restriction in a typical stock muffler. The Gibson Superflow™ mufflers have as low as 5% restriction because Gibson creates a "custom power tune" to match each muffler selection to the vehicle it will be installed.
