Message:
I just bought a Gibson Split Rear exhaust kit for my 1999 3.9l 2wd Reg V6.
Do you guys think this was a good idea?
I paid 425.81 w/shipping "i live in Indiana" from stylin concepts.
Is that a fair price?
Let me know if any of ya have this. What you think?
Does the spare tire need relocation?
Thanks guys fr your in put.

Aren't you asking those questions at the wrong end of the transaction?
Did you buy the Gibson headers? They made a huge improvement on my V6.
You will let us know before and after performance, including gas mileage, won't you?

You could have gotten a nice stainless JBA Catback for about $266 shipped.

Yeah wrong time to ask questions.
I guess i buy on impulse, not think pulse?
I really like the gibson name and have heard good things about them. The shipping cost is what i found to be vastly different. From $115-$42 quite the difference?

Well i will let ya know what i think of it Thanks.

Maybe I have bad luck?

It just seems no mateer what i buy i mess it up some how.

I pay to much or?

I am just dumb?

I paid 100 bucks for the exhaust I was talkin about to be installed. Is that a lot?

My truck has been bumped pretty good twice before

And hit hard as heck one time.

(he didnt know about this)

So the installer guy had to modify this kit quite a bit.

And my tips in the back are at difference distances off the bumper?

By Like 1/2".

A noticeable amount to someone who just drop $525.81 so for to have crooked exhaust?

He said the pipes were mandrel bent and he had a different squre corner type bender.

So if he bent my mandrel pipes they wouldn't work, that is why he thinks they are not even or something like that?

Oh well.

I think it sounds good it is more than I persoanly expected.

It rumbles in the cab at the right throttle amount.

But I was not excpecting a big block V8 to come out of an old 99 3.9L V6'er.

If I get a high flow cat he thinks it would sound better and he said hed weld it up for like 30 bucks.Is that a good price??

Well its my life and I like my black Dodge no matter how much it cost me. I mean geez look at the price of gas?

If you burn a CD, with exhaust sounds, it would do the same thing and bet a LOT less money, for the same end result, a different sound.
