Confused by the 2 different gibson part numbers

[Mark k 4]

I am looking around for a slightly louder than stock exhaust and get a few ponies. The exhaust on this truck looks so restrictive. So After reading it looks like the Gibson is the lowest cost decent alternative. I will be driving this in the winter in the Northeast so I wanted to go with stainless. Plus stainless is just sexy.

anyway I found these 2 part numbers and was confused. They are the same price on Amazon and have the same description , but one weights 5 lbs more.



I am just trying to figure out why the 2 different part numbers and why the weight difference.



here are the 2 part numbers and descriptions .

if you get the swept side, you can do this. Just don't attach the bend piece

I have a Gibson, it makes the V6 sound pretty good.
