Do dual stacks!!! After you like the sound if one, you'll want two. And that will create more work. Been there done that and got the shirt. Lol

yeah, everyone says that i should do duals and i can see why, i guess the next question is, how should i go about the hole in the bed, should i make it tight or alittle bigger for room for travel. also i dont want the open metal to cause rust, live in Wisconsin so truck will see alot of salt. I plan on having the bed bedlined with line-x as well as the whole underbody and frame, when i get the chance. Uncle owns part of line-x so i would get a good deal. They told me that the line-x can be near any heat outputs, would my exhaust get over 1000*F if not i figured this way i could just line-x around the pipe hole.

Leave a little room, these trucks flex alot, besides it gives you a drain hole when you wash it out

Yea you will be able to do a bed liner. Do you hole one inch bigger then your pipe. You will also want a peice of flex pipe under the truck for when the truck does flex it sant damage anything
