I think this can be done fairly easily. However, the hole in the hood just doesn't sit in my stomache too well.
On the flip side I'm sure it would sound amazing, plus I doubt you'd get in trouble for it. At least not in my neck of the woods.
Make sure you put a stack taller than the cab so you don't get a complete blackout! LoL!

yea you would not get in trouble here either... and me and a guy with a gasser had words tonight about stacks... he told a cop that i had not cats or mufflers under my truck and the cop asked me about it and i said i will admit it i don't have this stuff diesels don't need it... and the guy that told on me has a gasser with stacks and it has no muffler or cats to so i told the cop about his... and he went back to him and asked him about this and that guy tried the same little response that a gasser don't need them... but the cop knew better then that so that guy has a court date now... and he tried coming to me and he was going to start something but i think he learned real quick that i was not going to back down...

My exhaust just came in and will be installing it tomorrow. I bought the 3" dp. Are there any tips y'all can offer about bending the body to get the pipe in there? Is torching the metal a good idea, make it more pliable? Any tricks using a bottle jack wedged in there somehow? Thanks for any help, I'm sure I'll be swearing up a storm tomorrow night and thought it might be a good idea to get a heads up.

I sliced the pinch seam with a sawzall in three places about two inches apart and then bent them over with a section of pipe from the top side. Thought i had enough room and forced the pipe in there only two find out when I drove the truck that it vibratdd the entire cab. Pulled it back apart and used a small sissor jack out of my wifes camry wedged inbetween the seam and the bell on the tranny. An extension on an impact spreading the jack and plenty of room. Good luck
