looking at exhaust and i have a few questions... Are duals worth it? what brand would you get silverline or mbrp? and will a 2005 system fit a 2007? did a search and its a toss up
thanks

1) Duals are a personal choice. You either like 'em or you don't. If you like 'em and you tow, make sure you get side exit duals and not straight out the back to avoid blasting your trailer with exhaust. I went single because I didn't want exhaust noise on the driver side while trying to order at a drive through.

2) MBRP and Silverline are nearly identical in quality and sound. There were a few reported incidents a while back with fitment issues on MBRP systems hitting a crossmember. Never heard an ill word about Silverline.

3) If you get a complete system (downpipe back) an '05 system will fit a 2007. If you go cat back, 2005's have a flanged fitting after the cat. 2006's and later have a slip fit pipe.

A single exhaust will give you all the power and EGT drop you can get so duals are more for looks and sound. MBRP and Magnaflow both make excellent kits that bolt right in. We have not had fitment issues with either one. You cant make a wrong choice. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a holler.
