As far as the sound you're looking for I have no opinion on that I have 30" glass packs and there not really that loud but they have a nice rumble to them @ wot and I hear more of my engine while idling .
Did you go 3" Dual or single.
If I go larger than 2.5" I will be going to a single.
I am leaning more towards a single with a dual tip. I know for sure I want my exit to be right in front of the rear passenger tire.
After reading the previously posted chart, I am leaning more towards the Borla.

I think I might end up going with the dynomax race bullet. I like how your truck sounds thunder.
I don't really like the sound of the Dynomax. It's too harsh of a sound for me. I like the rumble, but not the popping that the Dynomax has.

Mine pops too, I just find it too harsh. I am looking for something a tad quieter.

Your truck si even the same colour as mine!
I like that, too bad my engine isn't big enough for 3" duals lol.
I was thinking that maybe 3" single would be nice. I just keep the pipe tucked up under the body but exit at the same spot. Unless I could to 2.25, just somehow get adouble walled pipe so that it looks bigger lol. The 2.25 looks sad on a truck up where I am from lol.
Do you have a soundclip for that?
