I welded an AeroTurbine 4040L onto the down pipe, followed by the cat-shell - with a 75* SS turn down at the cab rear so you can't see inside.

Would've went straight, but I've got kids and travel on the interstate alot. Killing the kitty and putting an MBRP muffler on made mine sound really good without droning you out of the cab at high speed. If I was a single man I'd get a 5" to 7" straight miter dual stacks.

I've had about 6-7 different configurations and had straight pipe. It was so loud in the cab that I had to put my phone on vibrate and put it in my pocket because I couldn't hear it ring. I added a straight through muffler and it's much better. I don't think that the first gen cabs insulate sound as well and my sliding rear window is a joke so that no doubt plays a part. The sound was cool straight though.
