You need an exhaust because of it's sound?

And you said the exhaust gave your race cars more hp? What about the guys that pull trailers? A few extra horses and a little torque can make a world of difference

This is my truck and this is why..... 
3 Reasons.
1- HP gains for towing
2- Sounds Badass from the quiet nothing of the stock muffler
3- Noticed some MPG gains with the engine breathing better (18MPG tops pre-exhaust hwy at 70mph/21-23mpg post exhaust hwy at 70mph).

Because V8 trucks sound awesome. People buy exhausts for their trucks for the same reason people buy exhausts for their cars. To listen to the motor. If you don't like it, keep your truck stock. Don't be bashing people who have different tastes and uses for their trucks.
Let me ask you this..Why do people put 12" lifts and 40" tires on a truck that never sees anything other than pavement?

The sound is a byproduct of my performance gains. You don't pay my gas bill, pay my car loan or tow my trailer. Yeah I bought a V8 but if I can eek out some gains I will do it again and again. <-- Says the 30 year old

I personally like loud exhaust but like you said, some people don't. What about motorcycles, big diesel trucks like ups trucks and school buses, ricers with fart cans, etc. These are louder than most aftermarket truck exhaust systems so I'm not too worried about it. However straight piped is another story.

LOL, I don't even own a V8. I fully acknowledge that opening up my V6 would make people puke. My dad has a Magnaflow on his 6.2L and I can tell you that unless you redneck the **** out of your exhaust, you won't annoy other people. Getting a stainless catback that's well engineered will liven up the sound at idle and offer a little more in-cabin rumble without annoying others with excessive acoustic drone. It's the morons that straight pipe and rip through neighbourhoods that make people have issues with it.
