Gibson 96-97 Chevrolet C1500 Base 5.7L 3in Cat-Back Single Exhaust - Aluminized

This Gibson cat-back exhaust system uses 3-inch aluminized, mandrel-bent tubing to help your 1996-2000 Chevrolet or GMC C/K truck breathe easier. Mandrel bending ensures consistent pipe diameter throughout the system, which is key for maximizing exhaust flow. This system is designed to exit behind the rear tire, giving your truck a more aggressive stance and sound. It's a popular choice for owners looking to improve their truck's performance, especially for towing and hauling.

The heart of this system is Gibson's Superflow™ muffler, which is baffled and chambered for a deep, aggressive exhaust note without excessive interior drone. Dyno testing shows this setup makes its best gains in torque and horsepower between 1800 and 3000 RPM, which is exactly where you need it for low-end grunt during acceleration, hill climbing, and passing. Expect an average improvement of 10-15 horsepower and 15-20 lb-ft of torque. The system includes polished stainless steel slash-cut tips for a clean, finished look.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the bolt-on design, which uses factory-style hangers and includes all necessary hardware, meaning no welding is required. This makes it a hassle-free upgrade for many C1500, K1500, C2500, and K2500 models from the mid-to-late 90s. Gibson backs this exhaust system with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, offering peace of mind for your investment.
