I'm very happy with my Cherry Bomb Vortex, it might be a bit louder than what you're looking for but if you leave one of the resonators on instead of removing all of them it will be quieter. When you stick your head under and look at the stock muffler you'll know why it's quieter than a Tercel, the thing is HUGE! Plus you'll either have one or two resonators in addition to the muffler.

Welcome to DF MT! I enjoy my cherry bomb pro! Its somewhat quiet but jump on it and it rumbles good. Definitely is louder than the stock setup and has a nice agressive tone! No raspy sounds either. If you are looking for a clip or any other info on it, I can post up one

Yeah go ahead and post a clip. I thought about going down to my local 4x4 shop and talking with them and getting a quote for a custom job. Looks like its gonna rain today... maybe I gotta go get her dirty tonight!

Here is a functional ram air SHAKER hood. If you want to buy it, I'll volunteer to test it on my truck for a while.

Thanks for the replies. Great input and I will take all of this into consideration when I go to get something installed.

As for the stereo system goes, even though the MyGig system sounds like a good fit, I think I will stick with an aftermarket, possibly double din with many similar bells and whistles, then I can get at least 4v preamps. Although I have a quad cab, I rarely have anyone sitting in the backseat, if anyone it's probably my German Shepherd. The thought crossed my mind of gutting the center portion of the back seat to fit a box with a high quality 8" sub, looks like there could be room, and with a small peice of foam it could still be sat on if necessary. Worst case scenario, if it doesn't work I could always replace the seat, since it is a little stained anyways! Just a thought. Regardless, a 4ch amp and the components and coax speakers in the front and rear doors are soon to happen. I will either post my progress on this thread or start a new one... or maybe even start a cardomain profile.

Since I lack some of the necessary tools to do the 2" leveling kit install, I will check around to see what it costs to install at a shop around town, and then work on getting some more meat under the truck... actually had a guy ask me if it was a 2wd because it sat so low... OH, can't have that!!!

Here's a pic of my puppy!
