Default New guy in need of some advice!!

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum world and am also just recently a first time dodge owner and have a couple of things to ask. I am wanting to put exhaust on my truck and i want it to sound mean, but not pissing people off loud. I have a 2003 QC 2wheel drive 5.9. I have looked around at recently posted threads and notice Gibson, Flowmaster, and a few others mentioned alot... but i have NO IDEA about exhaust period. So if you could tell me what i need to do i would appreciate it greatly.
Also i have a fog light on the drivers side that was taken out by a rock and i keep getting the "Lamp Out" light but it flashes and beeps like every second for a while than stops... Is something wrong with my sensors, wiring, ect. or do i just need to replace the light and it should stop? Thanks everyone i appreciate any comments.

(ALSO) If you have any suggestions on things i should do to this truck to make it that much better (interior/exterior) feal free im pretty excited about making modifications. [its flame red with black interior]

I posted this to someone else, but here it is again.

Iinstalled a Gibson Swept Side and I love it. I got the aluminized vs. the stainless, but its working for me so far and it was cheaper. I LOVE the sound. I was looking for a natural muscle sound without being obnoxious. It sounds great inside the cab as well. Its not loud until I step on it, thats the wayI like it.

When you get an exhaust system in, be sure to have the connections welded.

p.s. Whatever you do, don’t buy anything from Autopartswarehouse.com

as soon as you replace the fog light the lamp out warning will go out.

Thankyou very much for the replies. Much appreciated.

I talked to the local exhaust specialty guy about gibson and flowmaster and all that stuff and it seems that flowmaster is a TONS cheaper. 320$ installed. I think ima go with the 3" rolled over tips and stainless steel instead of chrome. Does this sound right?

Where are you going to put the exhaust exits?? Out the sides, the back or out at the corners?!?!
