The truck looks good. Where did you order the exhaust from and how much did you have to pay? Is there any problem with the spare tire being mounted under the back?

The Magnaflow exhaust follows the same route as the factory system, the muffler is smaller, and there is no resonator at the back before the tip, but no clearance issues with anything excpet the plastic bumper (this probably varies from truck to truck). I'm pretty handy with a car, but not an expert, I was able to take out the old exhaust and install the new one in about an hour in my garage (no lift, no jacks - just crawled around on my back). It took me another 1/2 hour to go back and fix the clearance issues.
I ordered from www.muscleexhaust.com they were an authorized dealer for magnaflow and sold a full kit (got the link from the magnaflow website). Some of the other places I looked at sold the magnaflow muffler, and had their own exhaust tubing and tip. I figuered that I'd just go with the full magnaflow kit. I ordered the full stainless steel kit, cost about $526 no tax (out of state) and no shipping. They make an "aluminized" kit that you can find for around $350. The stainless steel is supposed to last longer and looks a little more trick, but you gotta be under the truck to see it... could have gone either way.
So far I'm getting at least 1.5 mpg better milage with the exhaust, I need to burn through a few tanks before I post the final results.
