on Gibson's web site they have 5 different models listed..

swept side

dual sport

dual extreme

split rear

supertruck



so you have the dual sport and what is the other one called? the above order is from Quietest to loudest... just trying to figure it out.



I had a Magnaflow installed on my Lincoln Navigator and the noise on the highway at cruising was so loud that I had a hard time talking to my son in the middle row and he could hardly hear anything and him and my wife were always complaining, don;t want that to happen again, highway cruising is what I care most about, a nice throat off the start and idle but not at cruising speeds, around 65 -70 MPH

I love the predator for a few reasons.. one is they have three selectable tunes that you can change when you want...they offer a stock tune to bring it back to stock specs when you visit a dealer, they have a performance tune where your tuned for optimum performance and there is an 87 octane tune where the truck is tuned for maximum performance and efficiency using 87 octane (regular) fuel... Most people buy it for this feature with todays gas prices.



Second, you can use the programmer to recalibrate for larger tires, your speedo/odo and other features will now work right again.



Third, and I used this feature alot on my dodge, you can change when you want the fan to turn on and off....great for towing and off road uses.... going through water? turn the fan off and prevent any waterspray...GREAT FEATURE!!!



Power gains...depends on the tune you use, the premium fuel tune will get you on average 20-30 HP at the wheels.... the regular low octane tune will get you 12-15 HP at the wheels.



Fuel Mileage increases are dependant on too many variables from truck to truck and driver to driver... I know on my dodge I saw a 2-3 mpg increase.... doesn't sound like much but I was getting 8 mpg before and 11 after...so I was happy.



Becoming a dealer for these products was a PITA and the reason I sell the products I do in my store is because they are products I personally use,trust and believe in...thats why I only carry 5 lines of products... I only want to sell stuff I know people will be happy with. There are other companies that have contacted me and offered a much higher profit margin, but to be honest they suck and I wouldn't feel right selling crap to people.



I sold an Intake to a girl in Canada today and the shipping was only $28... the exhaust is higher because it is a oversized #2 box which bumps up the rate...but other stuff I can get out to you guys for a reasonable amount at least.

The only two available for your year H2 is the single side and the dual sport. The single and the sport duals are pretty quiet.

swept side is the official name. I call it single side cause it is a single pipe exhaust...less confusing to customers that way

I didn't mean I was fighting with you...lol... sorry, that was a bad choice of words. I just meant that as an admin I fight with so many idiots daily that I can't remember everyone I talk with...even the good guys.

swept side exits out the side behind the rear tire and comes with a 4" stainless tip.
