I know there’s a bunch of threads on this already but a lot of them are pretty old, and also prices have begun to get crazy for these things. So far my 2010 Mada is Uprev tuned with long tubes, PRT 2.5 inch catted B pipes, and air raid intake. The exhaust after the Bs into some stock replacement crush bent piping that the previous owner had replaced due to the old stuff rusting out. The two systems I’ve been looking at are the JBA 40-1405 and the Gibson stainless model. I live in the Midwest so I’d prefer stainless, and these two are about the only ones I can still find for under $600. Is there any reason I should go with one over the other? Any other wild card suggestion? Thanks!

Check out Cajun B Pipes online, then look at Magnaflow, and maybe even Spintech mufflers (I’m hearing lots of good things about this company).

If you opt for the JBA, you’re likely going to want to have a Vibrant UQ resonator, installed in-line via the tailpipe section. If you don’t, the drone around the 1500-2000 rpm range can be a nuisance.

I haven’t looked at any of Gibson’s exhausts but I believe their SS catback doesn’t have a post muffler resonator either.

Magnaflow 15575 is what i'm running on my 2011 QX56. The sound is awesome and downshift even gives off a slight burble. I've had other custom exhaust truck guys comment that it "sounds like a real truck" (funny, right?).

I see your Armada year is not the Y62 based version alike my Q but if Magnaflow has another part no. for yours, it won't disappoint.
