Looks pretty sweet. I would like it a hell of a lot more if it was out the back and not in front of the tire

Thanks! Reason I didn't put it behind the tire:
A- two 6" tips next to each other with a 1" gap is 13" wide and you need clearance for the leaf spring in the back. Therefore it would end up wayyyy towards the back under the bumper...- not cool.
B- you would see the whole Y-pipe if you were driving behind my truck, I'm into more of a clean look than that.
C- I wanted to do somthing different and I've never seen two 6" tips on a 4" Y pipe before the tires before.

Thanks for the compliments and I will post a video when I get a chance.

How's the sound in the cab now? It's different and I am really liking it!!!!
The sound in the cab changed dramatically!! It's ALOT louder now, I was not expecting it to change as much as it did. I'm so pumped with the way it sounds now, It has more of a growl to it instead of just the screaming sound when you really get on it.

It looks cool but not sure if the old lady would like it as she drives the truck most of the time. I definitely want the musket replaced with something which looks better, but i wouldn't mind a little growl as well. You mentioned earlier that it wasn't possible to bring it back to behind the rear wheel, but would that be the case even on an 8' bed? I like the looks but I think for me it would have to go back behind the rear wheels so the misses dont complain too much.

Correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure the 8' bed has the same distance in the rear of the tire. As far as i know the added 2' is between the cab and the rear wheels.

You may be right, as I am not 100% sure and am not home to look at my truck. Looking at pictures of my last 2500 CC with short bed and my dually now with long bed, looks like there more space on my both sides of the rear wheels but it may not be as I am just looking at pictures.

Here's last truck and current truck side views to see what I mean.

That exhaust looks great, but I'm glad I don't have to polish your wheels, lol. Just out of curiosity, how hard would it be to route the exhaust like a flow-master set-up if anyone knows? Or run a single pipe out each side?
