If I'm not mistaken factory original had the exhaust cross over the front of the motor from drivers side to passengers side and connect at the front of that exhaust manifold then had a single exhaust pipe going to the rear.

I don't believe the Ram horns are factory original.

In twenty years, looking at these trucks will be like looking at a street rod from the early 90s- They may still look decent, but it's a dated look. I'd rather see a pristine original example than something that's been beaten into the flavor of the day.
