That's what I have and love 'um. Unique cause you don't see a lot of PSD's with duals (mainly because with one exit from the turbo... there is really no point to a dual system... but I like symmetry!) Mine is Tymar DP into 4" stright pipe, splits before the spare tire, then into 5" slash cut tips. All done by 'lous' custom exhaust in brocton ma. think it was about 375 installed, 5yrs ago(I still don't have a welder and I'm not a fan of clamps)

For whatever its worth, I've never liked the pipe in the bed because I haul stuff. I've always figured whatever I was hauling would end up smashed into the pipe. I'm a fan of just chucking that wood into the bed and letting it land wherever.
I do like the toolbox look though.
I had a tonneau cover on my Ranger (when that was my only truck) and I was constantly taking it off. Yeah, it looked good. But it was PIA every time I loaded the truck because I had to take it off, store it somewhere, and make sure the weather was above freezing when I tried to reinstall the cover. I finally just quit putting it back on after about 2 years. Maybe I should put it back on since I bought the 250...anyway just my $0.02.

Do the 7" mitre cut stack... You already have the hole in the bed. You can't do 5" duals... They don't make the kit. You can do 4" duals with tips. But keep in mind that aint cheap. Also if you do duals, You have to lose the spare and throw that in the bed anyways.

It's all about off-the-shelf vs. Custom. I have a custom dual 4" system and the spare tire is still under the bed.

You sure about that? The Diamond Eye duals on my SD cleared the spare. I was going to put their duals on my OBS too but not if I can't leave the spare underneath.

Chase, I thought you were going to 35" tires anyway... Just throw the spare in the bed.

I have slammed quite a few things into the Y pipe for my stacks.. Yet there are no dents in the pipe or anything. A couple melted plastic bottles maybe, but the stacks haven't kept me from hauling anything in the last 3 or 4 years. Thought I'd throw that out there.
Robb, how big is the PIPES for your duals?? Not the tips, the pipes.. Bet if you had 5" pipes you'd have to move the spare. There really isn't much space under there for dual 5" pipes.
