Why not a an exhaust gate? I saw on TRUCKS before where the host Stacy, put in an electric gate that when he wanted, he flipped a switch and the gate would close off the cat and open to a straight pipe. Pretty slick. I think they were called cut outs. It was on the Copperhead truck.

Yup...they are called exhaust cut-outs. The electric ones are expensive (around $350 for a pair), but there are also cable-actuated ones for much cheaper (around $30-$50 each)
There are also cut-outs that have 3 wingnuts on them...crawl under truck, unscrew, and thats it. I dont like these due to the hassle.
I am also choosing an exhaust system for my truck. I want a Flowmaster 30 or 80 series...but they are expensive compared to the 40 series (some cops in my town can be real d**k heads when it comes to loud exhaust)
Im putting dual 2.5" turn-downs on the muffler though....no exhaust pipe visible from the sides or back of the truck, and it will make it a little louder. Once I get some more money, I will put on headers and a pair of straight-through cats (or just gut the stockers).
