   I have seen a few posts on exhaust work.  Today I took my 3 day old truck into the shop to open it up a bit.  I was really surprised at how well the factory setup was.  This is one of few trucks on the market that can have a TRUE DUAL exhaust system installed very easily.  I was really shocked to see that there was a cat on each side rather than the typical Y pipe into a cat then a resonator, then the muff.

At first, I had a two chamber Flowmaster with dual outlets put on.  This setup was really LOUD.  My truck is used for work, so I cannot have it too loud as to piss off my customers when I pull in the drive way

I ended up going with 3 inch pipes off of the resonators and into a Y that went into the muffler.  I chose a Borla muff.  (I have had Borla in the past with a couple of my cars in the past and liked how they sounded.)  Out of the muff I went with 2 1/2 inch pipes that were custome bent on a Mandral (spelling???)  I used chrome 4 inch rolled tips that exit on each side of the spare tire.  I will put up some pix later.  The sound is AMAZING on this setup.  There is just enough rumble on light throttle to put a grin on my face.  Under WOT on the other hand, it sounds like a big block from the late 60's    At normal cruising, purrs like a kitten.  Just a tad bit louder than the stock system.

Hope this helps out some all.

If I get in at a decent time tonight, I will throw a little something together.
