GIBSON

Because of $$$ I'm deciding between the Gibson exhaust system and the K&N FIPK Gen II. What do ya'll think I should do first? Well, having both, I would DEFINITELY say the K&N FIPK Gen 2, no doubt. Much more noticable power difference than the exhaust. I'm a little upset with the Gibson right now (...

The Gibson stainless might be a good double whammy: increase flow and reduce weight! The stock aluminized exhaust seems about 20 lbs heavier than the stainless.

Just out of curiosity how much did it run for the exhaust setup? I figure I should do mine while the bolts are fresh and not rusted on. Dave I purchased the Gibson Stainless version (614433) from www.truckperformance.com for 339.00 (free shipping to Michigan). Everything's still ok but the tailpipe...

Gibson stainless side-swept exhaust installed

Installed yesterday. I love it !! I had dynomax ultraflow on my '96 Impala SS and did not like it... This one is not stock and not loud. Gut reaction: I like rumble - I think I have slightly more power - Power is at a slightly higher rev range (maybe up a few hundred RPM) Email me for pictures or in...

Have you looked into Mach's top end packages as well ? Perhaps to do prior to or in conjunction with the supercharger ?

Jim,



Do the ZR1 wheels you've installed have the same offset as stock ?

Another question: can be bed extender be easily removed in case you want it out of the way for something ?

Wheel upgrades

I'm having difficulty finding a lot of options with upgrading the wheels on my '03 crew cab. I'm going for 17's or 18's with all season tires to strike a balance between looks and on-road wet/snow performance. Any recommendations? The only suitable wheel I've identified is the ASA JS5 on tirerack.co...
