I will be getting an exhaust setup in the next week too. Probably exit out in front of the passenger tire since it will be a little cheaper than all the way back
Stack!

Do it 4" duals all the way back! Straight pipe it too, and see who looks your way, or rather doesn't look your way! LOL... Actually I would make it all the way out, with Dynamax VT mufflers (remember to get the one for >4.9L engines cause your's is turbo whether you do duals or not)... Looking awesome though!

LOL, no way its getting a stack(s). I still have to use the bed, and I dont want to burn the dog... She likes riding behind the cab

Im thinking 3" down pipe, 3" non stainless to a long 4" tip. Definitely no cat/muffler

i would highly recomend not exiting in front of the tire! unless you like cleaning soot off the wheel and fender every 10 miles, even behing the tire it will still get the fender and bumper, thats why i went to stacks on my 98, the ammount it smokes would black out the rear 1/4 of my truck everyday, with the stacks there is no more soot build up anywhere, and MUCH quieter in the cab with the windows up compared to the single rear exit

So my intake pipe didn't fit with the firewall... So I made "super custom" intake lol
Some ugly 2" ag hose with elbows and sewer/drain boots from the farm store. I'm planning on adding an intercooler when the funds arrive...

Looks good, just be SURE that there are no leaks or else it will tear your turbo to shreds.
