I just cut my muffler out ond ran the pipe right out infront of the wheel. I like the sound I'm not gonna spend a couple hundred bucks on a exhaust system untill I hear one on my same truck that sounds better. So far I havent found it. I want to make it dual and go out the other side with it or make it stacks i rely like that look.

I used to have cat-back duals with a SISO Flowmaster 40 Series muffler and 2 1/2" pipes. It sounded great.
I ended up going back to single exhaust because about every 2 years the flanges on the muffler would crack and break. At the time, my exhaust was stainless and the muffler was stainless. I found that to be pretty unacceptable, but to be fair, whatever shop put that exhaust on my truck (the truck had duals when I bought it) didnt put on any exhaust hangers for the muffler, so the flanges pretty much supported the weight of the muffler, which I suspect is a major reason why they failed so often.
When my aluminized single exhaust rots off, I will likely have duals put back on my truck, just because I kinda miss the noise.
My brother has the same exhaust setup that I had on his '91 F-150 and in the 3 years since that exhaust was put on he hasnt had any issues, so Im hopefull that if I had a muffler shop that knows what they are doing do the work, I can have the noise back without the hassles.

True duals, with just magnaflow tips. Go to http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3132005 and find the exhaust videos I posted there. You can get an idea of what it sounds like. Just a forewaring, the videos arent very good.
