short headers ( easier on 4x4)dual in out cat convertor ( Make the inspection station happy) Duals with your choice of mufflers ( or lack there of.) Actually in PA just about limited to cat back systems (w/shorty headers) they no like none stock type cats.Good luck

Dump-out after the cat sounds great and you can make it quiet whenever you want. Which is a good thing when you get home really late or when tryn' to pick a girl up. No father likes his little girl to be ridin around in some HOSS of a truck.

This is the set up i would suggest. Go with true duals. about 2.5 inch. Right after the headers get cutouts. Perferebly electric. Than run either cherrybombs, flowmasters, or cats, or nothing but straight pipe all the way back. This way you can have a mean sound with a good tone. then for loud as hell just hit the switch and dump the exhaust out the cout outs.

Ive got true duals (2.5 inche) coming straight form the manifolds (soon to be headers), and then i cut the cats out, and i hung a pair of Glasspacks on the way back. It has a beautiful rumble at idle, until you hit 2500 Rpm, then she crackles. Great for avoiding cops, but when you wanna show up your buddy's exhaust system, all you gotta do is tromp on her.

the second video is of me revving it up a few times. it's amazing how it sounds outside and inside while driving you can carry on a conversation and hardly hear it.
