New pics of completed truck, For now...

I finally put the last piece on my truck and detailed it last weekend. Tell me what you think. I think next on my list is going to be raised hood and exhaust.

Nice I like.

What sort of raised hood are you thinking but I was considering something for my truck too?

I have seen two styles I like. One has two seperate raised cowls, And the other I am leaning toward is a 2.5" raised hood over all. I think anything over 2.5" is too much, And wont give me that subtle look I am looking for. I would also like to get some ideas on exaust; Once again, Something not to obnoxious, But that has a nice rumble to it.

PS: Sorry about the photo layout....I have no idea what I did wrong

As for exhaust if you want a nice sound but its not over the top then gibson or magnaflow are the way to go.

Now is that a single replacement system, Or a dual exhaust setup. Not sure how much more of a hassle it would be to hang a dual setup underneath.

True dual or from muffler back?

Dual system from muffler back or cat/back isn't too big of an issue and if you dump them out the back then the noise should still be reasonable. Of course it will be louder on a dual but it shouldn't be over the top on those systems.

Remember that dumping them straight out the back will normally result in less cab noise as compared to side dumps behind the rear wheels.
