So which is it? Gibson, Flomaster, or Vortex for the deepest sound and reasonable hp gains? and i've heard single side is better than a dual outlet, is that true? is there difference in performance between single side behind the tire and in front?

IMO , flowmaster 40 series delta or 50 series are the best in talk off sound and reasonable gain, any less restrictive exhasut is going to get you a little extra HP.

I have a 6 inch round Gibson muffler, its hardly noticable...not much different than stock. If you are looking for mean sound, you might want to pass on Gibson.

Go with the flowmaster.
I get compliments on the sound every day.... Some are glares and shaking fists (I take that as a compliment.)

I had flowmaster 40 series on my dak, loved the loud. But there was a very noticable loss of low end power, midrange and top end was good though. I pulled it off and installed a magnaflow got good power all the way through the entire range. But it is alot quieter than the flowmaster. It all depends on what you want!

dbbaker,
I'm looking for not much louder than stock. How does the Magnaflow sound. We have the same engines so do you have the part number..?

I have the magnaflow #14256. Its a 5x8 oval i'm pretty sure. Its straight through S.S. Not very loud at all but definitley noticable. I think the gibson is the quietest though. The polished S.S. is so shinny I almost felt bad putting it under my truck. I could have used it as a shaving mirror.

I would have to disagree with you guys on this one. I have a Gibson muffler and I had a custom 2.5"-3" Y-Pipe made into a 3" cutout into a carsound cat then 3" into my muffler dumped and it is to loud if you asked me. It has to be the deepest exhaust i have heard a buddy of mine is running 40 series flowies and they dont even compare when it comes to sound my gibson is a lot deeper and meaner. Maybe its the 3" piping but it is loud and deep!! By the way I have a 2000 R/T CC just in case you were wondering engine size..

I have just had my 5.2L 97 dak 4x4 cc in the exhaust shop. I removed the cat and placed an O2 sensor simulator on it. I Put 2.5" pipe back to a Flowmaster 40 series with dual 2.5" outlets and turn downs right behind the cab. I swear I never thought that a dak could be that loud without being straight piped. It sounds like is has a built motor in it. I have a couple of friends that have been trying 2 or 3 times to get there Z71 and F-150 to sound good and I go and do it the first time - needless to say they were pissed (Its a good compliment whenever your best friends flip you off or cuss you everytime you crank yours up!) I am very pleased and have noticed no loss in low end torque or power and noticed a very noticable increase in mid to high end.
I am truly one happy camper!!!!!!
