Just installed the Gibson Dual exhaust on my 2019 Moab today. There’s many videos on YouTube of people’s Gibson exhausts sounding throaty. I’ve posted mine in the link below, as you can see, it doesn’t sound so great after all.

Any suggestions?

My opinion only... had Gibson before never again.
Ride with it for 2 months before it finally breaks in and sound gets better but no by much.

You can add a cold air intake up front and both will sound better maybe.

I think it sounds good. Not much loader than stock but deeper. As mentioned it will get louder as time goes on and you got rid of the giant suitcase.

It sounds exactly as a Dual Overhead Cam V6 should. You're probably not going to get a very deep sound like you could with the old pushrod engines. I had a Gibson Exhaust on my old Dodge Dakota and loved it. But the mechanics of the new engines are going to make a different sound.

My - 3.6L - Mopar (Corsa) exhaust sounds like an Alfa Romeo GTV6 Balocco. It's a love hate relationship. Wish it was more "American" (deeper), but the sweet Italian sound is pretty cool too. :)

Updating an exhaust to make a V6 sound better is about the equivalent of polishing a turd....there's not a lot you can do

I wish I had video of the exhaust on my Old Dakota. The 3.9 liter V6 was pretty much a 318 V8 with two cylinders chopped off, so it sounded pretty sweet!
