I've already got a 4-channel Phoenix Gold amp that I will intall to run my mids and highs. I'll have to get a bad azz pair of separates for the front of the cab. Then, maybe, much later some nicer and bigger wheels. But all of that stuff is $$$pendy.

I thought the Gibson was the 2in Y pipe then 2 1/2 in from there.And i read someone that the 3in pipe robbed the lower end power.

Any of you guys tow with your truck? I was wondering how well it would handle a 2 ton pop-up camper, single axle.

According to the Gibson website:

Part # 612211 is described as,

Kit comes with 3.5'' stainless tip(s)
3" Tailpipe

Also, at this link, the part is reviewed for performance. Looks like no low-end power is lost with this 3 inch exhaust.

Mike,

I'm no expert, and I haven't pulled anything with my Frontier yet, I have the hitch, just haven't installed yet. But, I remember the dealer telling me that our truck is rated to pull up to something like 8000 pounds. So a 2 ton camper (2000 pounds per ton) equals 4000 pounds. So you should easily be able to haul that pop-up anywhere you want! But, you never know till you try, so let us know how it handles.

I thought it was 6500lbs KC & 6300lbs CC. I tow a 5 X 12 trailer that weighs 700lbs ive pulled maybe 1500lbs once with no elect brakes with no problems.I have the 7 pin harness that supose to be wired for elect brakes.Ive never towed anything with elect. brakes.Maybe one day.

Thanks for the info guys...the camper is my parents, they pull it with a 05 GMC Sierra 2500HD w/ a 6.0L v8. Damn thing doesnt even feel like its attached when your pulling it. I know in NY your supposed to have electric brake controller but i am going to see how the frontier does w/o. The manual says 6500lbs so i think ill be alright, may struggle on hills a little. The Sierra is rated at 12000lbs or 14000 if you are pulling a 5th wheel. Kind of a joke when your only pulling 4000. We used to pull it w/ a safari full sized van and that had a 150HP 4.3L engine and that handled it. Well when the nice weather rolls around ill have to post some pics on the fronty in action.
