Just ordered some WeatherTech mud flaps for both the front and back. I guess we'll see if they fit with the bigger tires.
Also, the exhaust is scheduled to be here tomorrow and I hope to have it installed on Saturday. I plan to do a before and after video to compare the sounds. But like everyone says, the sound over a video can never compare to being there in person. Guess we'll see.

Well, the Solo exhaust showed up yesterday. Here is what it the truck sounds like stock:
So I did the install in my driveway, with no lift or jacks, and some wrenches. While I did prove that this is possible (even without cutting up the old exhaust to get it out) it would have been much easier with one other person and/or a lift. Total install took about 2 1/2 hours. But, it sounds AMAZING!! I can't believe how good it sounds actually. It's exactly what I wanted. I'm really glad I went with the addition of the Mach-46 muffler though because it is already decently loud when you get on it. At cruising speeds, you can barely hear it. A little rumble is all. Notice the difference in the size of the exhaust tip between the two videos. This 4 1/2 inch tip looks so BA. Especially with the larger tires. 110% satisfied. These videos don't do it justice, but here ya go!
Zero drone in the cab. In this video it's a little hard to tell because you can hear the wind when I get up to speed. But all you hear when cruising is a slight rumble.
And here are some pics just for fun:

Snapped a couple of photos today. You can see the WeatherTech mud flaps I put on the back and the side view of the exhaust tips. Plus she's clean for a few days and I've gotta take advantage of the 2 or 3 days after a wash/wax that she will actually stay clean. Man, keeping a black truck clean is rough.
