I don't see many people going to turndowns tucked and dumped under the bumper. I think it looks good and it's very functional. I'm anxious to see how you do yours. (BTW, those are 14x4" round 3"in/out Magnaflow cans in the back working as resonators.)

I am still anxious to see what you decide to do with the exits.

turned out awesome James
Very quiet system indeed
I noticed your shifting about 5500rpms, stock cam?

Little Update: Looks like we will get back under the truck next weekend with the goal of re-routing the exhaust out the back in some manner and to drop WOT sound about 7-8 decibels now to net a 3-4 decibel decrease after the Head/Cam swap

just a little update and question: Now that the system has been on for 3 weeks it seems I can finally feel a nice difference. Maybe it took that long for my perception to catch up, who knows. But I can definitively say the anything from 50-100% TP there is a surprising increase in responsiveness/hp. Lately, I've been having fun breaking her loose on freeway onramps, nothing like straightening up early for the straightaway blast 
, lol.
I would say 0-20% TP is somewhat less responsive, and 20-50% TP is stockish feeling. I'm guessing since no tuning was done post install, that the lower TP responsiveness can be tuned back in?

WOW, I put a set of those CATS (like Moregrip in his pic below) on My truck yesterday.
and man what a differance, much louder, and I think I lost some boost, also
more noise in the cab, but I'm pulling 60 lb/min airflow at 5800rpm up, when
just before the Metalic Cats I would only flow 56 lb/min at 6000rpm.
BTW awsome Exhaust moregrip, your truck is SWEET.
