Gibson 96-97 Chevrolet C1500 Base 4.3L 3in Cat-Back Single Exhaust - Stainless

If you're looking to get more out of your 1996-1999 Chevrolet or GMC C/K 1500 or 2500 truck, especially when towing or climbing hills, a Gibson cat-back exhaust system can make a notable difference. This system is designed to bolt directly onto your truck, replacing the factory exhaust from the catalytic converter back. It exits behind the rear tire with a polished stainless steel slash-cut tip, giving your truck a cleaner look and a more aggressive sound.

Gibson engineered this system with a Superflow muffler that uses baffles and chambers instead of internal packing. This design helps improve exhaust flow, which translates to gains in low-end torque and horsepower, particularly in the 1800 to 3000 RPM range – exactly where you need it for hauling or passing. Dyno tests show an average increase of 10-15 horsepower and 15-20 lb-ft of torque. Despite its performance enhancements, Gibson focused on keeping the interior cabin noise to a minimum, avoiding the excessive drone often found with other performance exhaust systems.

The entire system is constructed from mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, ensuring consistent diameter for optimal flow and resistance to corrosion. It includes all the necessary hardware and factory-style hangers for a hassle-free, bolt-on installation that requires no welding. This Gibson cat-back exhaust system comes with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, reflecting its durable construction and Gibson's confidence in its performance and longevity.
