With the windows rolled up, it not too bad. At freeway speeds pulling a heavy trailer, the resonance can get a little annoying at certain speeds. But hey, thats what a good stereo is for. There are several kits out there that come up through one hole in the passenger side of the bed, then tee off into dual upright stacks. This takes up alot of room in the front of the bed. My exhaust is split where the cat bolted to the exhaust pipe, then runs to each stack under the bed, leaving the front of the bed between the stacks open for use. The stacks are bolted to the bed with a custom adapter sort of like they use for stove pipes that go throught the roof. Then the pipes under the truck are routed to "slip" up into the stacks so the cab, bed, and frame can all move and twist with no binding. Also, when it rains the water will run out and down between the exhaust pipe and the stack. No ugly wet soot on your ride when you fire it up after rain, washing.
Stacks were purchased from a semi truck chrome shop 4 years ago. Local muffler shop bent the pipes under the truck to fit.

yep what he said. My stacks run thru one hole in the bed. They are quite loud with the windows down but with the windows up no too bad. they are a bit louder in the cab than my side pipe on my previous truck.
