Thanks again guys! Glad to see so many others running Flowmasters 
Haha, thanks for the offer, but I don't think I'm gonna add nerf bars; they wouldn't really add to the overall appearance I'm envisioning.

Awesome looking truck you got there. I also have the same exhaust setup with a different tip on mine and man do the flowmaster 40's sound mean. I also think you should get those windows tinted.

Quick question, I had a 1997 F150 and the exhaust was ran out on the pass side in front of the rear wheel, and it turned the wheel a dull color (it's been a few years and I don't remember exactly how it looked) and Ford rerouted the exhaust to the rear and replaced the rim, question is, will the exhaust in the front still have the potential to do that?

Ricky - Thanks, and another vote tallied for tinted windows.
Thank you. Personally, I think it's VERY hard to beat the sound of a Flowmaster 
Muffler - $74.71 after tax @ Jegs
Tips - $43.xx after shipping from Muffler Mall
Installation - $120 @ Muffler Bros.
So, a total of $238. Not too bad IMO, a lot less than I've paid in the past (when I was younger and dumber and bought everything through a muffler shop).
I know I've seen a number of 97-03 style F-150s with the stock muffler exiting before the rear wheel, always thought it was odd that Ford did that stock. Having the exhaust discolor the rim is certainly a possibility, but I try to clean my rims regularly and wax them a couple times a year, so hopefully that, along with wheel rotations every 6-8k miles, will keep the rims from taking any noticeable discoloration.
