Mine are little noisey too but I don't mind. I'm used to a loud tire had mud treads on all but one of my old trucks. Thought about going back to an mt again just to many choices.

I had a imitation Banzai exhaust on my 97 F150 that had two slash tips coming out in front of the passenger rear wheel.

Yup passenger sides easy. Driver side not so easy. I think it would look awesome coming out both sides instead of just one.

I do like that look too but want something that as far as I know is different. I have two different tips that I'm gonna use. Have a couple slash cut tips that I'm gonna get powder coated black.

True. But that stirs up dust. That I don't think I'd hear it as well when driving. Like driving with the windows down in the summer cruising listening to the engine rumble.
