I’ve been researching exhaust systems for my 2003 LB7 and have decided on a 4 inch kit with muffler. I am looking at either the Flo-pro or the MBRP. The flo pro is $50-$75 cheaper than the MBRP. Does anyone have an opinion on one of these kits over the other as far as sound, fit, etc.? Will both install without any interference with my spare tire or B&W gooseneck hitch?

Thanks in advance for the responses.

Moved this over into the General Exhaust area.

I still have my old Silverline. I have no opinion either way on MBRP vs FloPro.

Mbrp hangers and clamps rust fast and smash the pipes together. Makes them a pain to remove.
Flo pro coats every thing and uses quality stainless band clamps.
Flo pro fits way better. But most guys like the mbrp name and price.

Price is nice on MBRP and I love the sound I have but I hate my exhaust. It fit like crap, rusts quick, sucks to remove, the hangers suck horribly. Next will be a flo pro or magnaflow

Damn this sucks. I got mbrp only cause it was the only one I could find a dealer to ship me a Downpipe back exhaust system to ca.

Go the cheaper route. Neither will interfere with the goose neck or the spare.

Mbrp took some work as the fit wasn't perfect

Magnaflow uses pretty cheap steel for there SS systems. The hanger will also tear lose. I beefed mine up before installing it, but I'm happy with it. 5" straight piped. I got a flo pro tip though and it's great. Way better then the cheap pos I had before.

Anyone have any issues with the exhaust hitting a rear sway bar? They say on the websites that they will clear 4in.
Looking at getting one and was hoping no one has had any problems with a 5in exhaust because I want to switch to a 5in.
