I don't know much about it but I have a 97 F250 LD that I did that to and it runs fine and sounds great. I would advise runing a pipe out the other side also because when all the sound comes out the one side it sounds wiered. But anyway I think it will work's fine. Also make sure you run a pipe out from under the truck so the exhause fumes don't gather under the truck.
