I run a Zoomers Exhaust system. I have had alot of different systems before and this one is best...by far.

They offer lifetime guarentee. Should your muffler rust of the packing blow out,,,they will replace.

Its really a nice system...check out link. Yeah its a Titan, but it works for us too. Check out clips on the link.

It's a matter of choice, the club talk about Gibson for having a really good
performance and torque I went with Borla like the duo rear exhuast and sounds beefy too.;)

I have a 50 series Flowmaster it sounds soweeeeeeeet! I just removed the stock exhaust and replaced it with a Flow. Paid $110 I like my flow it’s not too loud when driving normal (which I rarely do) and a beefy grunt when taking off quick.

Have you guys ever hear a 350Z or G35 start up, it sound so good wondering if any aftermarket exhaust will sound like that.

highly doubt that since the armada n 350z are totally different engines....i'm runnin dual in/out spinteks...it's quiet, but when you stomp it, it roars. it has that low sound to it. it's nice!

I'm running the magnaflow 22" muffler it's same as stock but when you gunned it screams. a lil drone when on 50-60mph..not too bad for the cost of it.

I would suggest you drive a mada with any aftermarket exhaust before you jump into any of them. I too inquired about different types of mufflers and everyone said that the system they had was the sweetest and with no drone. well I finally went with the Borla and yes it sounded very nice from the outside but inside there were so much drone it drove me crazy. couldn't hold a decent conversation in the car. Keep in mind these trucks have a very big and boomy cabin. I also had a 12" resonator installed to bring the drone down but made no difference. I finally had the whole thing taken down a week later. good luck

Call Zoomers Exhaust,,,no drone, great sound, guaranteed by the company.

I had problems with drone using Banks exhaust. Shifted to Zoomers, no regrets.

Call Gobson back and ask them what type of packing they use. Zoomers packing wont burn/blow out. Very high temp rating on Zoomers.

I think mine was around 660,,,but everything is guaranteed. No issues with it yet.

Gibson does not use a packing, so there is nothing to burn out.

I don't know of any tests where the sound levels were recorded, but it is generally accepted that the Gibson is the most quite of the after market units.

I just installed the Gibson and it is definately very very quite. Having Gibson exhaust on other vehicles this is the most quite aftermarket exhaust I have ever had. It is almost too quite. But the power is definately there.

Not sure about the sound of Gibson,,,but the Zoomers can barely be heard while sitting at a stoplight. It has a very nice tone while driving. No drone at all.

The links that were posted earlier have sound bites.

That's what I'm talking about. Be very careful and good luck!!!!. another thing you may want to keep in mind I have an '04 mada and there is no under coating on this truck with that said all the vibration from your muffler transfer to the interior of your truck. Now I do not know if the QX has under coating.??

And that does what exactly? That link provides no useful information, besides the part looking like something for my Go-Ped. :D
