New Exhaust!
Finally got my exhaust work done. It sounds great! I went with a single in/single out Steel Pack muffler and a 3" chrome tip. The steel pack is basically a stright thru glass pack muffler but uses steel baffles instead of fiberglass. Good low end rumble, not to loud in the cab but you know it there!

Performance
just got the exhaust done today. It seems like it gets up to speed quicker, not a real slap you back in the seat but like it takes less throttle to get going. To soon to tell about gas mileage but it seems to be up some, ran a little over a 100 miles around town today and only used a little over a 1/4 tank. I'll update the numbers once I've had a chance to get a better feel for things.

Anybody know anything about how the Gibson performs?

They have a bolt-on 2.5" package made especially for the Crew Cabs, aluminized steel or stainless (#14433 or #614433). Anyboy got that one? I'm thinking of ordering it. It comes with the muffler, pipe and stainless tip.

First run of numbers
I've only run 1 tank of fuel since the exhaust upgrade. With a mixed bag of driving (highway and city) I averaged 16.9 miles per gallon. I was getting on the "GO Pedal" kinda of hard too! I figure I picked up around 1 to 1.5 MPG with the air intake and exhaust.
As far as pipe size, I reused the stock pipe and only changed out the muffler and tip. I'll work on getting a sound clip uploaded.
