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

If you're looking to get more out of your 1996-2000 Chevrolet or GMC C/K truck, especially when it comes to hauling, climbing hills, or just everyday driving, this Gibson cat-back exhaust system is a solid choice. It's designed to bolt right onto your truck's 5.7L V8 engine, giving you a noticeable boost in performance where you'll feel it most – at lower RPMs. This system exits behind the rear tire, offering a more aggressive sound than stock but with a focus on keeping the interior cabin quiet, which is a big deal on longer drives or when you're towing.

Gibson engineered this system using mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing, which means the pipe diameter stays consistent throughout, allowing exhaust gases to flow more freely than with crush-bent pipes. The included Superflow muffler uses a baffled and chambered design without internal packing, contributing to that improved low-end torque and horsepower, with dyno tests showing gains of 10-15 horsepower and 15-20 lb-ft of torque. The system also features polished stainless steel slash-cut tips for a clean, professional look that complements the truck's stance. Installation is straightforward, with factory-style hangers and all necessary hardware included, meaning no welding is required.

This cat-back system is a comprehensive upgrade for your truck's exhaust. It's built from durable stainless steel to resist corrosion and is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from Gibson, giving you peace of mind. You'll get a more responsive engine, especially when you need it for towing or climbing, without the excessive interior noise that often comes with performance exhaust systems.
